The Physical Society of London Report on Series in Line Spectra A Treatise on the Analysis of Spectra: Based on an Essay to which the Adams Prize was awarded in 1921

Abstract

OF the two works now under notice, the first, by Prof. Fowler, is the third of the series of reports published by the Physical Society, its predecessors being those by Dr. Jeans on Radiation, and by Prof. Eddington on the Relativity theory. These set a very high standard, but the present work worthily maintains it, and we are glad, at the outset, to offer congratulations to the Physical Society on the continued service which it is rendering to science by their publication.
