Abstract
THE relativity theory of gravitation, which is at present the centre of so much interest, owes its existence to an earlier physical theory of relativity which had proved to be in accord with all the known phenomena of Nature except gravitation. The gravitational theory is only one branch, although a vigorous and striking branch, of a firmly established parent tree. The present article will deal solely with the main trunk and roots of this tree.
