Abstract
THIS posthumous volume of Hertz's works, edited by Prof. Lenard, with a preface by von Helmholtz, has a doubly melancholy interest. It is the last work of Hertz upon which he was engaged until a few days before his death, and it contains a preface which is almost the last work of von Helmholtz. The pupil died shortly before his master, and by the departure of such a pupil and of such a master, science, and with science mankind, have lost many prospects of advances in the near future.
