The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by George Downing Liveing, on a paper 'An enquiry into the variation of angles observed in crystal; especially of Potassium-Alum and Ammonium-Alum' by Henry Alexander Miers

Reference number: RR/16/84

Date: 01 April 1903

Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Recommended for publication in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. All the illustrations except figure one, which is a photograph of the goniometer, can be very easily reproduced and should be easily reproduced. The photograph of the former is too small to show the construction well. Suggests a different photograph is taken of the instrument in a different light to bring out the parts more distinctly. The construction of the goniometer is however a matter of secondary importance in reference to the paper.

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1904].
