VIII, p. 499: “Lorentz’s dissertation, both in Dutch and in French translation, his 1895 *Versuch*, and most of his important papers are conveniently republished in H.A. Lorentz, *Collected Papers*. Vols. I–VIII contain technical writings, all in English, French, or German. Vol. IX is a collection of Lorentz’s nonmathematical writings, mostly in Dutch. His 1878 inaugural lecture is included in English translation, as well as the original Dutch. There are both systematic and chronological bibliographies at the end of Vol. IX. The bibliographies list all editions and translations of Lorentz’s textbooks, all places of publication for each paper, and all books, papers, and essays that are not reprinted in the “Papers.” – 39.
