Description
Handwritten letter from Thomas Preston to George F. Fitzgerald, dated 5 January 1899. Preston writes from Grand Central Hotel, Belfast. Preston writes that he has sent the first proof of his article to Philosophy magazine. He describes the notes he has added to the paper, including a reference to Fitzgerald’s research about dynamical suggestion. He describes his research into a mathematical formula which may be important for the analysis of chemical elements in future experiments. He believes that he has discovered a new law, but he must continue his research to find if there are exceptions. He asks Fitzgerald to keep the letter as evidence in case someone else publishes the law before he has found out whether exceptions exist. 4pp.
