A Thomas Barton design for Edmund Nye.<\/p>\n

The Réaumur scale was the first to set the freezing point of water at zero degrees although, unlike centigrade, the boiling point is 80. It was first divised in 1730 by Rene Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur in 1730 and is referenced in the works Mann, Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Joyce and Tolstoy.<\/p>\n

Nye, like his predecessor Fenner, most likely made this to appeal to the foreign tourist market – likely in areas not conquered by Napoleon who implemented the use of celsius throughout his Empire in keeping with the Revolution’s commitement to the metric system.<\/span><\/p>\n
