T is well known - chiefly through references to his work by other physicists such as his brother Lord Kelvin, Thomas Andrews, James Clerk Maxwell, Osborne Reynolds, J. Willard Gibbs - that the scientific activity of James Thomson has left permanent marks on the history of several branches of physical science. The collection into readily accessible form, in one volume, of his published contributions to knowledge, has thus been desirable, especially in view of the scattered local journals, often remote from modern facilities for reference, in which much of the work originally appeared. The project of a posthumous collection of his brother's work was constantly encouraged and looked forward to by Lord Kelvin during his later years, but his numerous pre-occupations prevented active assistance.
On the recent completion of the Collected Edition of Lord Kelvin's own scientific work, the idea has impressed itself on others that there should be available a full record of the work very different in general type from his own - of his brother who was his lifelong companion and scientific associate. The materials for the present collection have been brought together mainly by the care of his son, James Thomson, of the Elswick Engineer ing Works, newcastle-ou-tyne, assisted zealously by his wife who has not survived to see the completion of her work; while the Biographical Memoir, containing passages of high interest as regards the personal aspect of the progress of Physical and Engineering Science in this country in the middle of the last century, has been constructed largely out of narratives and re collections obtained by his daughter Mary Hancock Thomson.
Letters of scientific importance which passed between Lord Kelvin and his brother, on subjects such as the Theory of the Dissipation of Energy and the characteristics of natural flow in liquids, have been included, as well as scientific correspondence with Faraday, Clerk Maxwell, Andrews, H. C. Sorby and other eminent men.
