Abstract
Before beginning my lecture I want to say in the first place that I feel it as a great honour to have been invited by this Institution that has been made famous all over the world by the scientific men who worked in it, and in which, above all, there is so much that reminds us of Michael Faraday, the greatest discoverer in physical science perhaps who ever lived. Allow me in the second place to pay a tribute to the memory of Sir James Dewar, whose loss all physicists deeply deplore, thinking with great admiration of the talent with which he opened new paths of research. He has worthily continued the history of the Royal Institution, which forms an important chapter in the history of science itself.
Lecture to the Royal Institution of Great Britain; delivered June 1, 1923. Proc. Royal Institution. 24, 158, 1925.
