Abstract
IN December 1895, Prof. Dolbear delivered before the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia a lecture on mechanical conceptions of electrical phenomena, and the substance of it was published in NATURE a year ago (vol. lv. p. 65). The lecture has been enlarged by the addition of a section in which the properties of matter and the ether are compared, and it now forms one of the “Romance of Science” series of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The aim of Prof. Dolbear is to show that the mechanical antecedents of physical phenomena are sufficient to explain the phenomena without assuming the existence of other factors.
