CreatorLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
RecipientTaylor; Charles (1840-1908); British college head
Date4 November 1895
DescriptionLarmor gives thanks for the proofs, which he returns, now reading as a more connected treatise. It may be worthwhile to state in the preface that only such lines as are needed appear in the diagrams. This leaves out the conic itself, which the reader may sketch in, in pencil. He notes a difficulty with proposition VII.
