It included a comprehensive account, the first in the English language, of the discharge of electricity through gases. ... the reflexions which it induced led Thomson to a suspicion or intuition that the next great advance in our knowledge of the relationship between electricity and matter would be derived from a study of these phenomena, and he set to work vigorously attacking the problem by experiment.': Norman, 2075: Not in Wheeler's Gift, Mottelay, Reynolds: Comp.
