2 But already he had done important work on thermal equilibrium
which helped generalize Maxwell's distribution law. Indeed, there
is part of a letter by James Clerk Maxwell to Loschmidt from this
period which runs: "I am very pleased over the outstanding work of
your student; in England experi mental physics is much neglected.
Sir William Thomson has done the most in this connection, but you
in Austria] are ahead of us with your good example. "2 But while
praise was fine, Boltzmann lusted after further travel. He wanted
to know what other physicists were doing first hand. In 1870 he
attended lectures by Bunsen and Konigsberger in Heid elberg, and in
the same year went to Berlin only to scurry back to Vienna with the
outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, but Boltzmann was back in
Berlin the next year attending lectures, visiting laboratories, and
working on dielectricity more or less under the direction of
Kirchhhoff and Helmholtz."
