An account of this theory seems therefore to be of some interest and in the present volume we sketch how it developed from Planck's first papers on black-body radiation through Einstein's and Rutherford's work to the rather complicated theory which was finally replaced by Schrödinger's wave mechanics and Heisenberg's matrix mechanics. I should like to express my thanks to Professor R. E. Peierls for useful criticism, to Mrs. D. Gordon of the Yale Physics Department for her help in locating the relevant literature, and to my wife for help in preparing the manuscript. This book was writte
