Description
Handwritten letter from Thomas Preston to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 1 July 1896. The paper’s masthead is from his home at Bardowie, Orwell Park, Rathgar, County Dublin. Preston writes that if Fitzgerald agrees to print his paper in Philosophy magazine, he has the permission of the Publication Committee of the Royal Dublin Society. He thinks it would be useful to publish it in Philosophy magazine and, since Fitzgerald is an editor, he can send it to the press. He writes about a change he made to the experiment where he had to “refine” his point of view. He writes that the surface tension can be regarded from the “statistical” or “kinetic” side. As long as the film behaves “as if” in tension, the doctrine remains sound. 3pp.
