| Title | Letter from O J L [Oliver Joseph Lodge], The University, Birmingham, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 11 July 1901 |
| Description | Lodge wishes to express himself strongly in favour of including transient notes and letters of the sort which appeared in 'Nature' in a memorial volume. Serious memoirs can be accessed, but temporary letters cannot, and may be of special value; in the case of [George Francis] Fitzgerald they may be lost if not captured and would be of great interest to foreigners who may never have seen them. Larmor might also get permission to use American articles. The job will give considerable trouble, but all will be grateful for it. Lodge agrees with Larmor's views on publication, having regretted everything that was omitted from the [James Clerk] Maxwell volumes, which were generally unhandy. |
