Excerpt from The Interpretation of Radium: Being the Substance of Six Free Popular Experimental Lectures Delivered at the University of Glasgow, 1908
IN again revising this book I have conformed to the earlier plan Of writing what I Should have said if the lectures had been delivered in 1920 instead Of 1908. The original statement has been amplified rather than modified. It has lost, long Since, the appearance Of challenge to existing theories which at first it may have presented.
