[Berlin, G. Reimer, 1861]. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", 58. Bd. Fine and clean. Pp. 1-53.

First appearance of Lipschitz's paper on the theory of the distribution of the static and dynamic electricity in conducting bodies.

"Lipschitz distinguished himself through the unusual breadth of his research. He carried out many important and fruitful investigations in number theory, in the theory of Bessel functions and of Fourier series, in ordinary and partial differential equations, and in analytical mechanics and potential theory. Of special note are his extensive investigations concerning n-dimensional differential forms and the related questions of the calculus of variations, geometry, and mechanics. This work-in which he drew upon the developments that Riemann had presented in his famous lecture on the basic hypotheses underlying geometry-contributed to the creation of a new branch of mathematics."
