Among the earliest of his inventions appears to have been the thermometer which he constructed in 1602. No doubt this apparatus, and its primitive form differed in some respects from the contrivance we call it by the same name Galileo at first employed water as the agent. Its expansion was the basis of the measurement of temperature
