Lodge wrote on thermodynamics, laws of motion, abstraction and Euclid, Boyle’s and Kepler’s laws, Millikan and his new “determination of molecular magnitudes”, Plank’s quanta, Brownian motion, Michelson and Morley, and Tagore and the ether and telepathy, as well as the spirit world, and rounded off with the separation of consciousness from the brain. It is an interesting read, and one which was expanded by him the next year in a separate publication.
