Liquefaction of Gases

Abstract

IN a long letter which you published in NATURE of February 14, Mr. Pattison Muir charged me with appropriating the work of Olszewski and passing it off as my own. I replied at some length, not on account of the intrinsic importance of the attack, but because there are always persons ready to assume that a charge of this kind, by whomsoever made, must be unanswerable unless it is answered. But as I can conceive nothing more unintere ting to your readers or myself, than a mere dialectical controversy with Mr. Muir, my reply to his letter published on the 21st will be brief.
