Referee's report by William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, on a paper 'On some new phenomena of residuary charge, and the law of exploding distance of electrical accumulation on coated glass' by William Snow Harris No clear statement regarding publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Considers all the conclusions to be erroneous, but as the paper continues earlier work by the author it maybe should be published. Refers to work by Reiss/Biess [?]. Subject: Physics and Chemistry [Published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, 1862] 25 October 1861
