Excerpt from The Mean Density of the Earth: An Essay to Which the Adams Prize Was Adjudged in in the University of Cambridge The subject for the Adams Prize for 1893 was The Methods of determining the absolute and relative value of gravitation and the mean density of the earth. This Essay, to which the Prize was adjudged, gives an account of the various experiments, including one by the author, which have been made to determine the mean density of the earth. The First Part consists of an introductory discussion of the problem and an account of the experiments hitherto made on the subject. Since the Essay was first written I have had access to some of the original papers, of which I had before only seen abstracts or brief notices, and I have therefore been able to make the history of the subject more complete.
