| Title | Referee's report by George Francis Fitzgerald, on a paper 'An extension of Maxwell's electro-magnetic theory of light to include dispersion, metallic reflection, and allied phenomena' by Edwin Edser |
| Date | 17 March 1898 |
| Description | Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Has trouble making a decision on the paper. If the other referee advises publication, will agree with that, but also can find against the paper, as the author himself admits it is not a great advance of knowledge. Refers to work of Joseph Larmor.
Subject: Mathematics
