Excerpt from Mathematical and Physical Papers, Vol. 3: Elasticity, Heat, Electro-Magnetism
In this third volume which consists chiefly of Articles relating to Elasticity and Heat, I have not found it convenient to follow the chronological order of Vols. I. and II.
A printed volume containing my Baltimore Lectures on Molecular Dynamics and the Wave Theory of Light with Appendices, of which a limited edition has already been published in papyro-graph by the Johns Hopkins University, will contain also some later articles relating to those subjects, and will I hope be published soon.
A concluding volume of the present series will I hope contain, in chronological order, all that remain of my Mathematical and Physical Papers.
I take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to Messrs Adam and Charles Black, for their kindness in permitting the Articles on Elasticity and Heat from the Encyclop�dia Britannica, to be included in the present volume.
