Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853-1928) was a Dutch physicist known for his work on electromagnetic phenomena and the theory of electrons. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1902 for his contributions to theoretical physics. Lorentz's research laid the foundation for modern physics, particularly in the fields of electromagnetism and relativity.
