Description
Handwritten letter from Thomas Preston to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 16 February 1897. Preston writes from his home in Bardowie, Orwell Park, Rathgar, County Dublin. He responds to Fitzgerald’s statements about Stoney, who covers the limitations in his theory by stating that they are “essential physically” but need not be attended to mathematically. Preston is sceptical of Stoney’s statement because it raises problems. He writes that, if true physically, a statement should also prove true mathematically, but Stoney has not given reasoning for his statements. 3pp.
