What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The name and fame of Professor Clausius stand as high in this country as in his own. ...his writings ...fell into my hands at a time when I knew but little of the Mechanical Theory of Heat. In those days their author was my teacher; and in many respects I am proud to acknowledge him as my teacher still." in the context of "John Tyndall (May, 1867) Introduction to The Mechanical Theory of Heat: With Its Applications to the Steam-engine and to the Physical Properties of Bodies (1867) by Rudolf Clausius, ed. T. Archer Hirst" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
