A History of the Cavendish Laboratory 1871-1910 offers a detailed account of the early years of one of the world's most renowned scientific institutions. Founded in 1871, the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University quickly became a hub for groundbreaking research in physics. This volume, written by Thomas Cecil Fitzpatrick, provides insights into the laboratory's establishment, its key figures, and the pivotal experiments that shaped modern physics.

Featuring three collotype portraits and eight other illustrations, the book brings to life the atmosphere and personalities of the Cavendish. Readers will discover the challenges and triumphs of early researchers as they explored new frontiers in electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and atomic physics. This historical record is essential for anyone interested in the development of scientific research and the legacy of the Cavendish Laboratory.
