Abstract
IF this biography of the late Silvanus P. Thompson, written by his wife and daughter, is perhaps a little wanting in the detached criticism that could have come only from someone outside the family circle, it gives, from an inside and intimate point of view, a good idea of the extent to which its subject appreciated the gospel of work, and how he applied himself, with all his might, to the many varied and interesting things that he found for his hand to do.
