Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of the Late Alfred Smee, F. R. S It is with much diffidence that I submit this Memoir to the public. It was undertaken partly as a duty to the memory of my father, partly in the belief that it would not be unacceptable to the many readers of his different works. His pursuits, indeed, were so earnest and various, and his writings extended over such a wide range of subjects, that some account, however imperfect, of his doings, and some selection, however incomplete, from his writings, could not, I felt, be without interest to the general reader. I was farther desirous to bring under public notice a record of my father´s inventions and researches, especially in that branch of science to which he first gave the name of Electro-Metallurgy. His treatise on this subject, which went through several editions, has long been out of print. From it has been taken the introductory chapter on the history of Electro-Metallurgy, included in the present selection. I have devoted considerable space, also, to the enunciation and discussion of my father´s views on Mental Philosophy, and have extracted several passages from ´The Mind of Man,´ his last work on this his favourite subject, and the last published work of his life. The numerous scientific papers, lectures, pamphlets, anonymous and other writings of my father have also furnished contributions to the present volume.
