page 208 note * From the point of view of the present note, the fact that the dimensions of the electrostatic unit are times those of the electromagnetic unit where , is the measure of the velocity of light, is seen to mean that the measure of the former unit in terms of an unspecified fundamental unit is times the measure of the latter, i.e. on the C.G.S. system, a large number, so that on that system the former unit is the smaller, since the magnitude of two quantities is inversely as their measures.
