Title
Letter from Peter Guthrie Tait, Professor of Natural Philosophy, Edinburgh University
Date
27/1/1892
Description
Ross' thesis (Ross/163/20/03) was outside his field and he therefore sent it to an expert who said that as there are no examples to show whether Ross's theory works he cannot judge it. Tait suggests that Ross applies his theory to "some well-known theorems" in order to test it.
