 selves. It includes a 'Note on the Contributions of Fleeming Jenkin to Electrical and Engineering Science', by Lord 

 Kelvin, as well as the author's Papers on ' Telpherage ', Submarine Telegraphy, etc. etc., and a List of his Patents. 



' In practical engineering thoroughness and soundness marked all Jenkin's work. His determinative work in electricity 

 is of the highest value, while his varied originality as an inventor is testified by his 35 British patents, and by his scientific 

 papers.'— (J. T. Bettany. 



2144 : Reports of the Committee on Electrical Standards appointed by the British 



Association, revised by Lord Kelvin, J. Clerk Maxwell, and Fleeming Jenkin, ff.r.s.,

 Submarine Telegraphy], 7 folding plates, and diagrams, 8vo. cl. {very scarce), 15s 1873 



' The experimental work of first making practical standards, founded on the absolute system, which led to the unit now 

 known as the British Association ohm, was chiefly performed by Clerk Maxwell and Jenkin. The realisation of the great 

 practical benefit which has resulted from the experimental and scientific work of the Committee iscertainly due to Jenkin's 

 zeal and perseverance as secretary, and as editor of the Collected Reports . . . The volume of Reports included Jenkin's 

 Cantor Lecture 'On Submarine Telegraphy', through which the practical applications of the scientific principles • . . 

 became part of general knowledge in the engineering jirofession '. — Lord Kelvin.
