Biographical History

English physicist; author of works on electricity and magnetism, and on lives of scientists. Thompson had hoped to get enough subscriptions to print this work however it didn't materialize. There is a printed order form tipped in, saying the edition would be limited to 225 copies and printed by Ernest Enthoven at the Essex House Press.
