| Title | Letter from G G [George Gabriel] Stokes, Lensfield Cottage, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Stokes; Sir George Gabriel; first baronet (1819-1903); Irish physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 15 August 1889 |
| Description | He has posted the conclusion of his note for the press, with a proof promised for Friday. He thinks he should apologise for keeping the Society waiting, for the addition was simple and referred to past work. There is no new matter introduced but he cannot be certain if he mentioned when speaking that the method was applicable to the series derived from the original series by differentiations or integrations. He thinks they might prevent future disputes over priority if in such a case the Secretary noted that the manuscript was not received until after the paper was read. A proof will be sent to Larmor and he can add such a footnote. Stokes must write to Lord Rayleigh on a title for the Hopkins Prize to Professor [George Howard] Darwin. |
