Title: The collected works of James MacCullagh
First published: 1880
Description: James MacCullagh (1809 – 24 October 1847) was an Irish mathematician.
He was a fellow of Trinity College Dublin and a contemporary there of
William Rowan Hamilton. He worked mostly on optics; the field equations 
stemming from this purely gyrostatic medium were shown to be in accord 
with all known laws, including those of Snell and Fresnel but were then mostly
forgotten with his death.

in 1880, FitzGerald re-discovered and re-interpreted his findings in the light 
of Maxwell's work.
