Referee's report by John Frederick William Herschel, on a paper 'A mathematical theory of magnetism' by William Thomson, Lord Kelvin
Reference number: RR/2/237
Date: 06 July 1850

Description
Recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. Wonders if the paper is a continuation of another, possibly published in 1849, the volume of which the reviewer has not yet received. Suggests this paper would be best reviewed by whoever reviewed the first part.
