Excerpt from The Scientific Works, Vol. 1: A Collection of Papers and Discussions
Sir William Siemens in his will expressed the wish that his scientific papers should be published in a collected form, and his Executors entrusted the task of editing them to Mr. E. F. Bamber, who had been the private secretary to Sir William Siemens for the last ten years of his life.
With a view of showing more fully what a variety of subjects Sir William had thoroughly grasped, extracts from the discussions of learned Societies have been added, which show in many cases the independent and individual point of view from which Sir William Siemens regarded even familiar subjects.
The papers have been divided, according to their subjects, into three volumes, dealing with -
Heat and Metallurgy (Vol. I.),
Electricity and Miscellaneous Subjects (Vol. II.), Addresses and Lectures (Vol. III.),
being arranged in each volume in chronological order, and much care has been bestowed upon making the index really useful.
