subject: Physics.
subject: Color blindness.
description: Handwritten letter from George James Burch, 11 Beech croft Road Summertown, Oxford, to George F. Fitzgerald, undated. Burch writes of his struggle concerning his scientific work and implores Fitzgerald for help. 3pp. Transcription: "Prof. Fitzgerald Dear Sir You will doubtless remember a correspondence that passed between us some while since on the subject of the Capillary Electrometer - The interest you then expressed in my work encourages me to venture upon the request I am about to make. I propose to offer myself a Candidate for the vacant [Chair?] of Physics of Sidney - Unfortunately nearly all my work on the Capillary Electrometer has been done under the auspice of physiology, and as Prof. Lotch tells me, their testimonials would not have much weight for this purpose. Its a little disappointing after twelve years work to find that because this purely physical research happens to have yielded results, especially valuable to physiology, it should be difficult for me to reap the result of it But I quite realize that when I can get the testimony of physicists as to its value, it will be of very little benefit to myself. May I hope that you will be able to assist me in the matter? If the request is one that ought not to be made, please consider that I have only consulted you as to whether I might make it, and that I shall accept your advice in the spirit in which I am quite sure it will be given Believe me Yours Truly George J. Burch P. S. I enclose an abstract of my paper on Colour Blindness now being printed in extenso in the Phil. Trans. - When it appears, I hope to send you a copy -"

description: Handwritten letter from George James Burch, 21 Norham Rd, Oxford, to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 18 August 1896. Burch is writing of an invention he made and implores for Fitzgerald's opinion. 4pp. Transcription: "Dear Prof. Fitzgerald Accept my thanks for your very friendly suggestion -It had occurred to me some three years ago that the Capillary Electrometer might be used as a recording instrument in telegraphy and I made (privately) some enquiries - I gathered that with cables the speed is limited not so much by the receiver as by the cable itself, and as the apparatus - in it- then condition was not such as could be worked save by a specially trained man, I gave up the idea - Of course it is much more manageable in its present form and if a submarine cable could be made to work up to the speed the capillary electrometer would be capable of very rapid work - Preece says that if possible reversals of the transmitter represent an average word - I do not know whether that means single, or double reversals - Now I have plenty of photographs taken at moderate speeds, in which there are over 720 double reversals per second (one of the Figs in my paper has 650) This would mean 30 words per second, 1800 words per minute if double reversals are meant, 3600 per minute if single reversals suffice This is I believe about 4 times as fast as the automatic transmitter, and is well written the rate of easy working. You will see by a passage towards the conclusion of my paper that I have refrained from patenting any part of it preferring to present my discovery and invention to the scientific public - the same method may be applied to any form of electrometer or galvanometer or other measuring instrument … the motion may be rectilinear or circular … the surface may be flat or developable … etc Whether this dedication of public use covers the [employability ?] of the capillary electrometer as a receiver in telegraphy I hardly know - If you think that it does not, and that an outsi…

[Letter to George F. Fitzgerald from W. G. Bond],
subject: "The Electrician"
subject: Electrical engineering
description: Handwritten letter from W.G. Bond, Holmby, Fortune Green Lane, West Hampstead. N.W., to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 7 November 1897. Bond discusses his retirement from "The Electrician", and his idea for a monthly science magazine intended for public readership. 2pp. Transcript: Dear Prof. Fitzgerald. You may possibly have already observed a paragraph in "Nature" announcing my retirement from "The Electrician" after nearly ten years toil. The "fous et oigo malorum" was, so far as I can make out, my candidature for the secretary-ship of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. Before my failure to obtain that post the words of the chief proprietor's mouth were considerable smoother than butter. Within 48 hours of my rebuff I was mated willy-nilly to a co-editor. Now a joint-editorship is a rather difficult machine to run, especially when the mates are one of a totally different breed and when the junior is only waiting the convenience of the financial 'losses' to run his senior out of the show altogether. In view of the fact that I had served the ship faithfully for so long a period and twice had stood by it in times of some distress, I felt, I must confess, aggrieved, not merely at the actions taken by the proprietors by alone all at the manner in which action was taken; there was a studied, and unnecessary discounting & lack of consideration about it all, reminding me painfully of the manner of Mr Trotter's dismissal, for such it was in effect. This is, however, all ancient history now and of little interest to anyone save myself, and I have only troubled you with my sad chronicle of woe, since you have been such a strong supporter of what I am pleased to think of as the Trotter-Bond "Electrician". Perhaps this recital is a somewhat curious way of showinf my keen appreciation of yout assistance. I am medidating having a monthly magazine of sound but not too profound science; my goal is a [?] of scientific 'XIX century' or 'Contemporary Review', wherin all lovers of…

Bond discusses who may be the best candidate for a job relating to electrical discharge, and a recent writing by Bond. 2pp. Transcript: Dear Prof. Fitzgerald. Many thanks for your advice re [?] on the electric discharge in unified gases. I have written Prof. J.J. Thomson fully and freely on the subject. My two favourites for the job were Profs J.J. Thomson & S.P. Thompson; the former I regardedas hopelessly eminent and the latter as too much mixed up in book-making to make anything but a paste & scissors job of this one. We shall see what we shall see. Your vigorous indictment caused me considerable popularity. By the same post as this, I am sending you a proof of my solution of the problem of how to get the great man to accept advice. I scarcely think your leader would have served that purpose. I trust you will think my faint reflection of it worth printing. Any suggestions or corrections that you have to make will be most carefully considered by me. I am sincerely obliged to you for arousing me to the enormity of the nonsense contained in a certain B. A. Paper. Yours very truely, W.G. Bond

description: Handwritten letter from W. G. Bond, Holmby, Fortune Green Lane, West Hampstead. N. W., to George F. Fitzgerald, dated Wednesday 10 November 1897. Bond discusses his issues with the owners and managers of "The Electrictian" publication. 2pp. Transcription: Dear Prof. Fitzgerald. I am sincerely obliged to you for the expression of your views on the subject of my [?], and they will carry great weight with me. The proprieters of "The Electrician" are mostly connected with the Eastern Telegraph Co. Now the policy of the managers of that company is to make everyone absolutely dependent on it and as a consequence of the [?] and quiet attendant on this regime as applied to a cable com-pany, the same policy has been steadily persued in regard to a totally different concern, namely "The Electrician" Printing and Publishing Co. Whilst not a quixolic combadaut creature I am, thanks to my forbears and early training, naturally averse to fawning on anyone. Hence without any overt act of war on my part or their's, there was always a natural antipathy between myself and the proprietors as there was between them & Mr Troller. Hence the mo-ment circumstances formed, they ejected me and put in my place a man who, whatever his merits may be and they are many, will be thanks to a wife and Family & a complete absence of financial resources wholly dependent on this good will of his employers. Now that may be good business management of but it does not tend to independence of advertisers & improper proprietnial pressure. Your's W. G. Bond

description: Handwritten letter from Walter G. Bond, Holmby, Fortune Green Lane, West Hampstead. N.W., to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 12 March 1898. The letter discusses submarine cables and plans being proposed for them by a firm in which a friend of Bond's works. 2pp. Transcription: Dear Prof Fitzgerald. A gentleman, partner in a well-known firm of consulting submarine-cable engineers, was explaining to me the other day a scheme recommended by them in connection with a proposed direct transmission from London to the far end. He told me that his firm's plan was foolo f[?] by Jaur "beou ami" Mr Preece and he laughingly suggested that it would be a good job to consult Mr Oliver rHeaviside on, since he could tell them whether this scheme was [diagram] theoretically sound and might be induced to take an interest in the job by warn of the potential possibility of passage of arms with Mr Preece. I replied that possibily the duel would be very amusing to outsiders like myself, but that I doubted whether it would altogether be good business for the firm, and suggested you. Therefore I was desired to approach you on the matter, as the gentleman was formally quite unknown to you and moreover I did not care to commit myself to an assetion that you ever did work of the kind. Of course on hearing from you that you do, I will immediately inform my friend an ask him to write you directly, formally & fully. Meanwhile I may say that the firm in question have recommended trusted twin conductor cable with a four foot lay. In the accompanying sketch K=condenser, a1 a2 twin conductor subterranean cable 200 miles 1mg, C=submarine cable. To this arrangement it is objected that it would not be neutral as regards external disturbances dor the reason that one half of the circuit is not of the same length & capacity as the other. These external disturbances are likley to be s[?] as high speed Wheatstone circuits might possibly be laid in the same circuit. The cable instruments will, of course, be siphon …

subject: Zeeman, Pieter,
subject: The Atom
description: Handwritten letter from W. G. Bond on "The Electrician" stationary, Salisbury Court, Fleet Street, E.C. London, to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 8 May 1897. Bond discusses the recent work of J.J. Thomson on the atom as divisible. 2pp. Transcript: Dear Prof Fitzgerald. I have asked the printers to send you an early proof (unrevised) of the Friday Evening Discourse delivered by Prof J.J. Thomson on the 30th. I hope to publish it in the next issue, if I can get the necessary illustrations in good time. My reason for sending it to you is the hope that you may feel inspired, thusly, to write "The Electrician" either a leading article or a signed article of any length you deem fit up to say four columns. You will observe that Prof J.J. Thomson gets out of several little difficulties connected with the "radiant matter" hypothesis by the assumption the atom, hitherto thought to be "one & indivisible" at least by the average perpetrator of text-books, is on the contrary infinitely divisible. This idea he works out very prettily and it helps one over several obstacles to a true faith in regard to Zeeman. I am aware that Prof Thomson is not the first to propose this hypothesis, but I cannot help thinking that a lucid explanaion of the experimental basis for this revolutionary "s[?] way" with difficulties and the new difficulties (if any) into which the hypothesis may be expected to land us, would be very timely just now. What do you say? If you feel like writing and want a little more time, I would hold over Prof. Thomson's lecture until our issue of May 21st. Your's very truely, W.G. Bond P.S. our usual rate of renumerations is 1 of per column, but I should be proud to leve the length of the length of the article largely to you and to make the fee two guineas.

The letter discusses religion and scientific advancement, and an upcoming edition of "The Electrician". 2pp. Transcription: Dear Prof. Fitzgerald. Prof. J.J. Thomson's lecture will not be published this week, but next week; we are having some little trouble in getting the blocks done. I hope, therfore, you will have sufficient time and determination to put pen to paper and administer consolations to those of the true faith (at least it was true not so very long ago). To call a man a splitter of hairs used in the good old days to be sailing close to insult, but now no one says nay when that bedrock of the textbook chemist, the atom, is being split into as many fragments as the Hell Gate rock was a few years since. And the worst of it is that as a rule our ingenious wriggling out of me set of difficulties mly bonds us in another quagmire a little later, like our social & political reforms; for every [?] tree cut fown half a dozen annoying brambles or noxious weeds spring up and the algebraical sum of things approximates a constant.

"To save the face" of the firm a 200 mile cable will probably be built an the circuits arranged as advised and the eng experiements will be indulged in to cure the obvious want of balance.

I feel uncomfortably like unto Oliver Twist, I have had the good fortune to secure your services for an article on land Kelvin's physical researches, but, not content, proceed to ask for more. My excuse must be the reciept of the enclosed [?] from Prof. Perry. I may say that we have tried in vain for many years past to induce Mr Heaviside to allow us to publish a steel-plate portrait; we shall not indeed weary of well-doing, but unfortunately we cannot publish a portrait this year now, as the B. A. week portrait portrait has already been arranged for, after a refusal from Mr Heaviside's moderly shall be reversed. Prof. Perry's idea of a brief article celebrating the granting of this minute [?] is very excellent and not less so the suggested writers. I think a leader might well be written and I should be very grateful to you if you would undertake it and send it to me, so that it could be used the moment the announcement appears in the Gazette. We English are getting on. First we propose to celebrate, with about German[?], the life's labours of a mere man of science, and now a civil list [?] has been awarded to an meta-abtuse mathematician of the more retiring disporition imaginable. Houser t'is well so far the Bishop of London recently publicly anathemalised science teaching in [?] and King's College, whilst mercilessly cutting down medical & science salaries, recently distinguished itslef by actually augmenting theologicial grants.
