| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 5 January 1910 |
| Description | He presumes that Larmor is on his way back from Ireland. He wrote to [Samuel Arthur] Saunder regarding Larmor's views, and has enclosed Saunder's reply. Huggins has said that any Fellow elected by the Council [of the Royal Society] would be welcome. He finds that the early volumes of 'Philosophical Transactions', where H [William Herschel]'s papers appeared, contain only 300-35 words to a page, which Huggins uses to evaluate how many words to a page should be included in the present 'Philosophical Transactions'. He discusses the life of [Ludwig] Mond and his wife [Frida Mond]. |
