Please do. Sylvanus Thompson was a very prominent guy around the turn
of the 20th century and I have a copy of an early edition of his
"Electricity and Magnetism" in my bookcase. Excellent book and more
useful as a fundamental reference than some of the more recent books I
have. Wasn't aware that Feynman had occasion to have known of him.

Hi Ed,
In one of his biographical books, Feynman mentions using Thompson's
text when he was in school.
