Abstract
I SEND you, under separate cover, a copy of an address, “Radiant Matter,” &c, delivered at the International Electrical Exhibition, held in Philadelphia in 1884, reprinted from the Journal of the Franklin Institute, September 1885, and would call your attention to the description of the method of preparing films of gold and other metals of extreme thinness, far exceeding in tenuity those described in NATURE as novelties in metallurgical methods (prepared in identically the same manner), and exhibited at a conversazione of the Royal Society, June 13, 1894. The first published note regarding this subject may be found in the Proceedings of the American Phil. Soc, vol. xcix. February 16, 1877. Later and fuller notices will be found in Journ. Franklin Institute, April 1877, June 1877, September 1885, and September 1894. In addition to the above, the process was fully described in U.S. Patent, 198,209, December 18, 1877.
