This is the second and final volume of Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon
Lorentz's scientific correspondence with Dutch colleagues, including
Pieter Zeeman and Paul Ehrenfest. These 294 letters cover multiple
subjects, ranging from pure mathematics to magneto-optics and wave
mechanics. They reveal much about their author, including Lorentz's
surprisingly active involvement in experimental matters in the first
decades of his career. Letters are also devoted to general relativity,
Lorentz's 1908 lecture on radiation theory, and his receipt of the Nobel
Prize along with Zeeman in 1902.
The letters are presented in their original language; Dutch originals
are accompanied by English translations.
A concise biography of Lorentz is also included.
