Letter from George Howard Darwin, on a paper 'The equilibrium of rotating liquid cylinders' by James Hopwood Jeans to Joseph Larmor

Reference number: RR/15/352

Date: 05 March 1902

Description

Sectional Committee: Mathematics

He presents the paper to the Royal Society, on behalf of Jeans. If the Committee for Mathematics should care to accept him as a referee, he considers this paper to form an important contribution to the subject which it treats, that is should be presented in extenso, and that all the illustrations should be reproduced. He has considered the paper carefully and would not need to see it again as referee.
