Correspondence and reprints. The correspondence (1805-1861) primarily concerns research in electricity, magnetism, and induction, but also refers to the nature of matter, telegraphy and the laying of the first trans-atlantic telegraph cable, and the importance of scientific cooperation even in times of war. The reprints (1837-1839), inscribed by the authors J. Henry and A. de la Rive, concern electricity and magnetism. Correspondents include Joseph Henry, J. P. Joule, James Clerk Maxwell, Samuel B. Morse, A. de la Rive, and William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin).
