Abstract
A MEETING was held on Thursday afternoon, January 31, in the meeting-room of the Royal Society, the Right Hon. Lord Rayleigh, Sec.R.S., in the chair, for the purpose of promoting the co-operation of English men of science and others in a project, set afoot in the first instance by some of the Professors and other leading men in Munich, of erecting in that city a statue of George Simon Ohm—a man who, although he discovered no new phenomena of very striking importance, yet by the accuracy of his thought, and the clearness of his insight into the true bearings of physical facts, was able to lay one of the principal and firmest parts of the foundation of the noble edifice of modern physics.
