Abstract
THIS work is essentially the same as an essay to which an Adams Prize was awarded by the University of Cambridge. The subject for which the prize was offered was Aberration, and as this phenomenon, together with the Doppler effect on the frequency of light vibrations are the only ones known due to the motion of matter through the ether (the spelling æther is disagreeably cumbrous), it naturally led to a discussion of the connection between ether and matter, and the effect of their relative motion on the phenomena of electro-magnetism.
Æther and Matter.
