TitleLetter from H E [Henry Edward] Armstrong, The Athenaeum, to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorArmstrong; Henry Edward (1848-1937); British chemist and educationalist
Date15 May 1907
DescriptionHe is glad that preparations for publication can go ahead notwithstanding that they were ruled out last week. Armstrong thinks they need a more elastic system. He made it clear that he wanted to push the papers on. Statutes are a safe retreat but he fails to see the use of a Larmor as Secretary 'if we are to be bound by prehistoric methods'. The [Royal] Society is of no value to Fellows as a publishing organisation - surely Larmor must realise this. He does not want to be forced to Germany, but it would be easier to publish in German, and the work would become a little known and noticed. 'We are always advertising foreigners & neglecting ourselves'.
