Scarce offprint with the author's printed presentation statement of Smoluchowski's important contribution to the "Handbuch der Elektrizität und des Magnetismus" in which he developed his theory of electroosmotic flow.
"From 1899 Smoluchowski worked at the University of Lvov. Appointed professor in 1900, he held the chair of mathematical physics there until 1913. His first works at Lvov concerned atmospheric physics, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, electrophoresis, and the theory of mountain folding. Recognition for these specialized works was show by his being asked to write the chapter on endosmosis phenomena in Handbuch der Elektrizitätund des Magnetismus, edited by J. A. Barth (Leipzig, 1914)." (DSB).
