Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences, 1969, Vol. 1, pp. 127–149.
Clausius’ great legacy to physics is entropy, and yet we find no indication of interest in Josiah Gibbs’s work on chemical equilibrium. In June 1889 Josiah Willard Gibbs received a letter asking him to write a review of the scientific career of Rudolf Clausius, who had died the previous August. Martin J. Klein, a science historian, has given a perceptive and sensitive appraisal of Gibbs’s views on Clausius.
