Mathematical and Physical Papers, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Mathematical and Physical Papers, Vol. 1

Although notes are added here and there, I have not attempted to bring the various papers up to the level of the present time. I have not accordingly as a rule alluded to later researches on the same subject, unless for some special reason. The notes introduced in the reprint are enclosed in square brackets in order to distin guish them from notes belonging to the original papers. To the extent of these notes therefore, which were specially written for the reprint, the chronological arrangement is departed from. The same is the case as regards the last paper in the first volume, which suggested itself during the preparation for press of the paper to which it relates. In reprinting the papers, any errors of inadvertence which may have been discovered are of course corrected. Mere corrections of this kind are not specified, but any substantial change or omission is noticed in a foot-note or otherwise.
