Excerpt from The Correlation of Physical Forces
The fifth edition of the 'Correlation of Physical Forces' having been exhausted, I have done my best during the few spare hours at my disposition to prepare a sixth. Partly induced by the suggestions of others, partly, perhaps, by egotism, I have added a selection of papers on scientific subjects, which I have from time to time previously published. Physical science has moved on far too quickly for me to follow it, and no one is more convinced than I am that
To have done, is to hang
Quite out of fashion, like a rusty mail,
In monumental mockery.
Still, having gone through my past contributions to science, forgotten by all others, half-forgotten by myself, I find something of suggestion in most of them which may not be altogether useless; and as the papers are scattered about in various periodicals, a collection of them in one volume may be accepted as a last legacy.
