Excerpt from Lectures on Some Recent: Advances in Physical Science With a Special Lecture on Force Professor Clausius has so long, and so repeatedly, claimed as his own the correct proof of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that no one can be astonished to find him unwilling to allow that his claims are unfounded. But I must protest against his making accusations of deliberate suppression, etc., and repeating them in the indirect and offensive form of a statement that he did not apply them to Sir W. Thomson. There has been nothing in the language I have employed, even had it been tenfold more pointed, which is not admissible in fair and temperate discussion. I have made no charges (though strongly tempted to do so by Professor Clausius' first letter), I have simply examined historical facts and given what appears to me to be the natural and inevitable conclusion from them. But, after having taken every precaution to insure accuracy, to be first accused of deliberate suppression, and then to be told that the tone of my far too mild reply renders it impossible for Professor Clausius to continue the discussion, is a trifle too much.
