IV des Magnetismus" von James Clerk Maxwell M. A. Autori sierte deutsche Ubersetzung von Dr. B. Weinstein. In zwei Banden. Verlag von Julius Springer, Berlin 1883, auf Seite 583 des zweiten Bandes: "Ampere nimmt be kanntlich an, daB die Molekeln ihren Magnetismus Stromen verdanken, die in ihrem Inneren in geschlossenen Bahnen flieBen. Handelt es sich um die Wirkung eines Magneten auf auBerhalb seiner Substanz gelegenem Punkte, so kann guy in der Tat durch eine Schicht elektrischer Strome, die auf seiner Oberfliiche in geeigneter Weise verteilt sind, diese Wirkung vollstandig nachahmen. " Und auf Seite 584: "Obgleich aber die Amperesche Hypothese namentlich deshalb, weil sie die Coexistenz einer Menge einfacher Teilchen annimmt, zu auBerst komplizierten Ausdrucken leiten zu mussen scheint, so gewinnt guy doch eine bedeutende Ver einfachung der Theorie des Magnetismus, wenn guy sie akzeptiert und damit den mathematischen Calcul gewisser maBen auch in das Innere der magnetischen Molekel ein fuhrt. " Es schien somit der Versuch gerechtfertigt, diesen von Maxwell nur skizzierten Weg zu verfolgen, den Begriff del' magnetischen Menge aus der Maxwellschen Theorie zu eliminieren und Molekularfltrome als Ursache des stofflich bedingten magnetischen Feldes einzufuhren. Gleichzeitig warfare an Stelle des offenbar zu engen Ausdruckes fUr den Leitungsstrom in der ersten Maxwellschen Gleichung ein solcher fur die allgemeine Elektrizitatsstromung zu setzen. Als unerwartetes Ergebnis dieses im ersten Kapitel dieser Schrift durchgefuhrten Schrittes ergaben sich die Grundgleichungen der Theorie in einer veranderten shape, und zwar in del' gleichen, wie sie die Grundgleichungen der Elektronentheorie von H. A. Lorentz aufweisen.
