| Title | Letter from Horace Lamb, The University, Manchester, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lamb; Sir Horace (1849-1934); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 21 July 1908 |
| Description | [Ernest] Rutherford has shown Lamb letters by Larmor and J.J.T. [Joseph John Thomson]. He knows little of [William Jackson] Pope. Lamb thinks him a somewhat grave man, absorbed in his subject. He has heard him talk on crystallography at the Literary and Philosophical Society and his style was severe. He and others have had a harrasing time under J.H. [John Henry] Reynolds, 'but I doubt whether he will ever captivate your gilded youth at first sight'. Lamb warns that his impressions are very superficial. |
