Silvanus P. Thompson letters to Henry Currie Marillier
Manuscripts
Three letters written by Silvanus P. Thompson (1851-1916) to "Marillier," presumably Henry Currie Maillier. The letters discuss Thompson's work as a collaborator, with members of the Gilbert Club, on the translation of William Gilbert's book, De Magnete (1600), and Thompson's authorship of accompanying Notes. In one letter, Thompson describes the ideal behind the translation as being: "As Gilbert would have done it had he written it in English." Includes also a one-page description of a lecture Thompson gave on this topic.
