Description

Sectional Committee: Physics and Chemistry

Not recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London'. If published, only the experiments and calculations should be printed. Refers to work of William Houstoun. The conclusions are mostly confirmatory rather than original. The theoretical discussion is 'highly speculative - mostly speculation piled on speculation, a castle in the air'.
