Letter from Louis Compton Miall, on a paper 'Variation' by James Cossar Ewart to William Abbott Herdman

Reference number: RR/15/49

Date: 05 May 1900

Description

Sectional committee: not stated

He and Herdman seem quite agreed that the paper as it stands cannot be accepted for publication. It would be unwise to prejudge the question whether, if it were recast and subdivided, whether the resulting papers would be acceptable. The paper does contain valuable experimental results.

[Not published].
