Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Works Thomas Graham, D. C. L., F. R. S: Illustrated by 64 Unpublished Letters; Prepared for the Graham Lecture Committee of the Glasgow Philosophical Society
The Committee did not think it then necessary to devote further lectures exclusively to the life and work of Graham, but it was pointed out to them by the late Dr. James Young of Kelly that a full life of Thomas Graham had never been written, and that a large collection of his private letters were in the hands of Dr. R. Angus Smith, awaiting a convenient opportunity for publication. Communication was then made with Dr. R. Angus Smith, who expressed an opinion that ex tracts from these letters would be of sufficient interest to justify the Committee in adopting them as the basis of the second Graham Lecture, and that he would be pleased to deliver this lecture for the Committee.
