Abstract
The Jacksonian professorship of natural and experimental philosophy at Cambridge is an old foundation dating from 1783. It was the duty of the professor to give experimental lectures on “Natural Experimental Philosophy and Chymistry”, and the chair had been held by a succession of distinguished men. In 1875 it was vacant through the death of Prof. Willis, who had been its occupant for nearly forty years. His predecessors had been chemists.
