First appearance of Lord Kelvin's most importent paper on magnetism.""In Paris, Joseph Liouville (1809-1882) encouraged Thomson's professional interest in Michael Faraday, whom Thomson knew and interacted with in London, by suggesting that the reconciliation of Faraday's electrostatic experimental results and the views of the French mathematicians, Ampère, Coulomb, Poisson, etc., could be a fertile field of mathematical endeavor. Intrigued by Liouville's suggestion Thomson wrote several papers over the next few years based on Faraday's experimental results, including: On a Mechanical Representation of Electric, Magnetic and Galvanic Forces (1847). On the Mathematical Theory of Electricity (1848). On the Mathematical Theory of Magnetism (1851). (The paper offered).After receiving Maxwell's request for guidance, Thomson shared with him the challenge presented by interpreting Faraday's written experimental results using mathematical formalism. Faraday's work on electricity and magnetism intrigued Maxwell and he began his research by reading Thomson's papers on the subject.""(Alan T. Williams).

First appearance of Lord kelvin's large account of his thermo-electric researches in which he found, that the Peltier-effect must be directly proportional to the absolute temperature in a circuit formed of two metals. ""This result, however, as Thomson well knew, was contradicted by the observations of Cumming, who had shown that when the temperature of the hot junction is gradually increased, the electromotive force rises to a maximum value and then decreases. The contradiction led Thomson to PREDICT THE EXISTANCE OF A HITHERTO UNRECOGNIZED THERMO-ELECTRIC PHENOMENON - namely, a reversible absorption of heat at places in the circuit other than the junctions.(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity"", pp. 237-38).
Elements of a Mathematical Theory of Elasticity. Received April 16, - Read April 24, 1856.

First edition of an importent paper on the elasticity of materials. ""The most importent contributions made to physics by Thomson during the first years of his work at Glasgow were in the field of thermodynamics, buthe also obtained a considerable amount of experimental data in strenght of materials and in the theory of elasticity. The result were later used in the preparation of articles which appeared in the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica and they became widely read and greatly valued.""(Timoshenko p. 263).Lord Kelvin ""was generally looked upon as the founder of British physics. Together with helmholtz in germany, he had been the foremost figure in transforming - indeed, in creating - the science of physics as it was known in 1900.""(DSB XIII, p. 387).
