Abstract
IN May, 1908, in response to a widely expressed opinion that a memorial should be erected to Lord Kelvin, a meeting was called by the Lord Provost of Glasgow to consider the matter. This gathering, representative of the city and west of Scotland, resolved to mark in a fitting and permanent form its sense of the manifold benefits which Lord Kelvin's researches and discoveries in physical science, and his patient application of the same to the common uses of man by sea and land, have conferred upon the world, by establishing a worthy memorial of him in the city where he lived and laboured.
