Abstract
I DO not know by what unfortunate accident it happened that I did not hear of the death of the great Clausius until after the meeting of the British Association. I write this in order to explain how I neglected to express the sorrow of the scientific world in Britain in the loss, and our sympathy with the scientific world in Germany. It is not the part of a young disciple like me to eulogize the giants of the passing generation, but I regret greatly that any appearance of want of appreciation of the labours of one of the most brilliant lights of the nineteenth century should attach to British science owing to my silence.
