Abstract
THE Council of the Society of Arts have awarded the Albert Medal of the Society of the present year to James Prescott Joule, LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., “for having established, after most laborious research, the true relation between heat, electricity, and mechanical work, thus affording to the engineer a sure guide in the application of science and industrial pursuits.” The medal was delivered to Dr. Joule by the Prince of Wales on Tuesday, when Sir William Thomson received the medal awarded him by the Society in 1878.
