| Title | Letter from W D [William Davidson] Niven, Royal Naval College, Greenwich, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Niven; Sir William Davidson (1842-1917); British mathematician |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 7 December 1892 |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for the handsome volume of his papers, many of which he had not seen. He has read them casually, coming across his remarks on magnetic disturbances in the Earth which was striking, especially as he had lately heard Lord Kelvin's address to the Royal Society. Much of what he said was contained in Larmor's article, and Kelvin's attention should be drawn to it. Niven may have the opportunity to do so at Council. Niven enjoyed Larmor's visit very much. |
