| Title | Letter from J [Joseph] Larmor, Queen's College, Galway, to W D [William Davidson] Niven |
| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Recipient | Niven: Sir William Davidson (1842-1917); British electrical engineer |
| Date | 24 November 1881 |
| Description | Larmor has just received Niven's new edition of [James] Clerk Maxwell's works. He had not realised that the first volume was so re-cast. Larmor was not convinced by one note in volume 2, which he discusses at length, on electricity and magnetism in elements. His argument seems clear to him, but it does not follow that his ideas are right. |
