| Description | He thanks Larmor for papers on the luminiferous medium. Webster is just beginning a course of lectures using the dynamical theory from Larmor's first paper. He compliments Larm rfor developing the ideas of [James Clerk] Maxwell and [Hermann von] Helmholtz in electromagntic theory.. He will examine with interest the criticism of Helmholtz's energy-method of obtaining stresses. He has been severely torn in reconciling the views of these two authorities. |
