Abstract
IN 1874 the Physical Society of London was founded by a well-known physicist, Prof. Frederick Guthrie. The first meeting of the Society was held on March 21, 1874, in Guthrie's lecture room in the Science Schools, South Kensington, and by his great kindness I had the privilege of reading the first paper to the members, the subject being “The New Contact Theory of the Galvanic Cell”.
