The Late M. Gaugain | Nature

ABSTRACT SCIENCE has to deplore the loss of an industrious but unobtrusive worker in the person of Jean-Mothée Gaugain, who died at the village of St. Martin d'Estreaux, near Bayeux, on

the 31st of May, 1880. His name is honourably associated with experimental researches in a good many of the less-frequented bye-paths of electrical science. Living in a time which may well

be regarded as the transition period, during which electricity has passed from the stage of a phenomenal and experimental science to one of exact mathematical relations, some of

Gaugain's investigations are already superseded by the later and more comprehensive researches of a younger generation. Yet he has done good work, which will live to carry down his name

along with that of Peltier, of Pouillet, and of Becquerel, and with the still greater names of Arago and of Ampère. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
