Abstract
II.
AT the present time, when the need for a fully-equipped and well-manned National Physical Laboratory for expensive and for secular observations is sometimes discussed, it is interesting to quote from Lord Kelvin's Presidential address to the British Association at Edinburgh in 1871 as follows:—
Popular Lectures and Addresses by Sir William Thomson (Baron Kelvin), P.R.S., LL.D., D.C.L., &c.
In three volumes. Vol. II. “Geology and General Physics.” With illustrations. NATURE Series, pp. x + 599, with index. (London and New York: Mac-millan and Co., 1894.)
