Lerk maxwell's biography has been written by Professors Lewis Campbell and Wm. Garnett with so much skill and appreciation Of their subject that nothing further remains to be told. It would therefore be presumption. On the part of the editor of his papers to attempt any lengthened narrative of a biographical character. At the same time a memorial edition of an author's collected writings would hardly be complete without some account however slight Of his life and works. Accordingly the principal events of Clerk Maxwell's career will be recounted in the following brief sketch, and the reader who wishes to obtain further and more detailed information or to study his character in its social relations may consult the interesting work to which reference has been made.
