Abstract
THE name of Ludwig Boltzmann will live on account of his great creative work, the study of which has happily been facilitated by the publication of his collected “Wissenschaftliche Abhandlungen” (3 vols., 1909, Barth), through the co-operation of the Academies of Berlin, Göttingen, Leipzig, Munich, and Vienna. But he was distinguished also as a teacher, and his power of exposition is shown in several volumes of lectures which have appeared in print. Perhaps the best of these are his “Vorlesungen uber Gastheorie” (2 vols., 1895), based chiefly on Maxwell's and his own fundamental researches on the subject. Less well known are his lectures on Maxwell's theory of electricity and light, and those on the principles of mechanics, each occupying two volumes.
