| Title | Letter from G [George] Johnstone Stoney, 9 Palmerston Park, Dublin, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Stoney; George Johnstone (1826-1911); Irish physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 6 November 1884 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for papers on the principle of least action. They are new to Stoney and he has not yet read through them, but he has enjoyed the elegance of parts, including the end of the first paper, on the form of a flexible conductor for carrying an electric current across a magnetic field. He encloses papers [not present], one of which is on the propagation of a wave, the other relating to a spectacle of 'surprising beauty' which Larmor may have the apparatus to see. |
