Excerpt from The Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell, Vol. 1
Shortly after the death of Professor James Clerk Maxwell a Committee was formed, consisting of graduate members of the University of Cambridge and of other friends and admirers, for the purpose of securing a fitting memorial of him.
The Committee had in view two objects: to obtain a likeness of Professor Clerk Maxwell, which should be placed in some public building of the University; and to collect and publish his scattered scientific writings, copies of which, so far as the funds at the disposal of the Committee would allow, should be presented to learned Societies and Libraries at home and abroad.
It was decided that the likeness should take the form of a marble bust. This was executed by Sir J.E. Boehm, R.A., and is now placed in the apparatus room of the Cavendish Laboratory.
In carrying out the second part of their programme the Committee obtained the cordial assistance of the Syndics of the University Press, who willingly consented to publish the present work. At the request of the Syndics, Mr W.D. Niven, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity College and now Director of Studies at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, undertook the duties of Editor.
The Committee and the Syndics desire to take this opportunity of acknowledging their obligation to Messrs Adam and Charles Black, Publishers of the ninth Edition of the Encyclopadia Britannica, to Messrs Taylor and Francis, Publishers of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, to Messrs Macmillan and Co., Publishers of Nature and of the Cambridge and Dublin Mathematical Journal, to Messrs Metcalfe and Co., Publishers of the Quarterly Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, and to the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education, Proprietors of the Handbooks of the South Kensington Museum, for their courteous consent to allow the articles which Clerk Maxwell had cont...
