Description

Handwritten letter from Thomas Preston to George F. Fitzgerald, written on 25 June 1898, on paper, from his home in Bardowie, Orwell Park, Rathgar, County Dublin. He writes about his plans to use iron in experiments about the Zeeman effect when he resumes work at the Royal University. He has just returned from London. During his experiments, he found that the “pressure effect” was not parallel to the Zeeman effect in different substances. He followed Humphrey’s tables on the assumption that they were accurate. He describes his plans for further experiments on the pressure and magnetic effects of different substances. 4pp.
