The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Letter from George Gore, on his paper 'On 'transfer-resistance' in electrolytic and voltaic cells' to George Gabriel Stokes, Secretary of the Royal Society

Reference number: RR/9/268

Date: 12 September 1885

Description

Responds to referee's criticisms of his paper. Abridging the paper (as suggested) would require a complete 're-modelling and re-writing' of the paper. At the moment, he has cannot 'bear any additional cost of time or labour'. Would like to 'diclaim' the paper.
