He goes on to elucidate the fundamental ideas of kinetic theory, and — through the mental experiment of \"Maxwell's demon\" — points out how the Second Law of Thermodynamics relies on statistics.\u003cbr\u003eA new Introduction and notes by Peter Pesic put Maxwell's work into context and show how it relates to the quantum ideas that emerged a few years later.

The Italian scholar formulated some of the field's basic ideas more than a century before the better-known correspondence of Pascal and Fermat.
