| Title | Letter from William Huggins, 90 Upper Tulse Hill, S W [South West] London, to the Secretary [Joseph Larmor] |
| Creator | Huggins; Sir William (1824-1910); British astronomer |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 1 January 1906 |
| Description | Writing that Huggins is thinking of reprinting his own papers with notes. He would not like to put these in the RS [Royal Society] address, and comments 'You may have noticed that I have carefully refrained from speaking of my own work'. He also expresses his reluctance to have his portrait done. He wishes instead 'to give all prominence to the best motive of the Address: what the Royal Society is, has done, and is doing'. [Archibald] Geikie agrees with this idea. He then wonders who will succeed [John] Joly at Trinity College. |
