Excerpt from Lord Kelvin: His Life and Work In the life of a military leader the account of the preparations for his campaigns, his successes and failures, naturally hold the most prominent place. So, also, in giving even a brief description of the life of a leader of science, a relatively large amount of space must be devoted to his work. A whole-hearted devotion to the development of science for the material and intellectual welfare of humanity is the keynote of Kelvin's life. The author has attempted to describe the scientific work in simple language, but, owing to the very advanced and abstruse nature of much of Kelvins work, he is conscious that some of it will remain obscure to the non-scientific reader. He will be happy, however, if anything he has written induces the reader to make a further study of the subject in Kelvins original memoirs, which are now accessible to all in his published works.
