Reading edition

Cf. Kelvin, On the Molecular Tactics of a Crystal, The Boyle Lecture, Oxford, 1893, Baltimore Lectures, 1904, pp. 612–642. Here Kelvin was mainly following Bravais’s (and Frankenheim’s) theory of “space-lattices,” but he had been largely anticipated by the crystallographers. For an account of the development of the subject in modern crys­tal­log­raphy, by Sohncke, von Fedorow, Schönfliess, Barlow and others, see Tutton’s Crys­tal­log­raphy, chap. ix, pp. 118–134, 1911.
