TitleLetter from J Theo [John Theodore] Merz, The Quarries, Newcastle upon Tyne, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorMerz; John Theodore (1840-1922); British chemist and historian of science
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date25 September 1920
DescriptionHe received the reprint of [James Clerk] Maxwell's classic treatise with pleasure. His inablity to read with his own eyes will prevent him from appreciating the additional original matter, but he has lent the book to a friend who will relay Larmor's remarks. Fundamental notions have changed greatly since the beginning of the century.
