| Title | Letter from Vito Volterra, Via in Lucina 17, Rome, to Sir Joseph Larmor, Cambridge |
| Creator | Volterra; Vito (1860-1940); Italian mathematician and physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 22 October 1920 |
| Description | On his return to Rome, he found James Clerk Maxwell's book 'Matter and Motion', sent by Larmor and he gives thanks for this and Larmor's notes. He has found a copy of [Adolfo] Bartoli's paper on motion produced by light and heat, in the second part of which is a demonstration of the pressure of light. This was privately published, rather than in a scientific journal, and few scholars have read the original. He would be happy to send this to Larmor as a friendly token of their time together at Strasbourg.
With some small pencil sketches by Joseph Larmor |
