Abstract
When, some months ago, the secretary had the kindness to ask me to deliver this lecture, I was glad, for various reasons, to accept the invitation. In the first place, and this would have been sufficient, because the great name of Benjamin Franklin, for whom I have always felt a deep veneration, is connected with this place. Secondly, because your Institute once did me the honour to award me the Franklin medal, which, to every man of science, is a very great distinction. I was not, at the time, able to come to Philadelphia to receive the medal but it would have been very unkind on my part, if I had not availed myself of this opportunity for expressing my thankfulness and appreciation.
Presented at the meeting of the Franklin Institute held March 31, 1927. Journal of the Franklin Institute. 205, 449, 1928.
