Abstract

IN NATURE, vol. xxvii. pp. 304, 328, is a reprint of a lecture delivered by Dr. Oliver Lodge in December 28, 1882, at the London Institution, on “The Ether and its Functions.” As this happens to be a subject to which I have devoted special attention, I would beg to offer a few remarks, also as my name is alluded to in the article.
