TitleLetter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor]
CreatorHuggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date5 January 1910
DescriptionHe 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].
