303 x 231 mm. 4to. Pages 435-446 pp. Dis-bound. William Crookes originally came to the attention of George Stokes and Charles Wheatstone in the 1850s through the offices of Michael Faraday. These three men were responsible for turning Crookes' attention toward problems in chemical physics, especially the optical problems of photography and spectroscopy. Stokes took an active interest in the work of Crookes throughout Crookes' career; here Stokes criticizes Crookes' work on the radiometer, part of Crookes' work with vacuums and radiation. After graduating from Pembroke College, Cambridge in 1841, George Stokes became Lucasian professor at Cambridge in 1849, "rescuing the chair from the doldrums in which it had fallen and restoring it to the eminence it had when held by Newton." DSB, XIII, p. 74.
