James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was a Scottish physicist well-known
for his extensive work with electromagnetism, colour analysis, and
kinetic theory. Considered by many to be a giant in his field with
significant influence on the physicists who would follow, Maxwell
spent time as a professor at Aberdeen University, King's College,
London, and Cambridge. This 1882 Life by his friend Lewis Campbell
and natural philosopher William Garnett represents an important -
and lengthy - investigation into Maxwell's life and thought. Part I
is concerned with biographical matters while the second section
focuses upon his scientific mind. A third part contains Maxwell's
poetry, so included because the poems are 'characteristic of him'
and have 'curious biographical interest'. At nearly 700 pages, the
Life represents an important starting point for those curious about
the state of theoretical physics and the person in whom it reached
its culmination in the nineteenth century.
