Abstract
XL.—SIR J. J. THOMSON J. J., O.M., F.R.S. I is impossible to think of the rapid and profound evolution which occurred in the fundamental conceptions of natural philosophy during the final years of the past century without one figure looming large in the mental picture—that of the celebrated physicist of the University of Cambridge. In effect, the new and fruitful trend assumed by the science of physics in recent years has been in great part due to the happy intuition of Sir J. J. Thomson and to the experimental researches unwearyingly pursued by him and his students in the Celebrated Cavendish Laboratory.
