I've attached an overview of the Dictionary of National Biography in the files section below.

I've also included some files from the Stirnet.com site in the document: "VI. Early Maxwell lines" from the Maxwell section on my Scatterty-Scatterday website (in the files section below).

(Reproduction of Stirnet.com content allowed from non-profit individual use.) I needed to reduce the file to get it to upload on this site so it got a bit blurry but it is still quite legible.
