Abstract
THE structure of the atom will be generally admitted to provide the most fruitful and important field of work in modern physics, but even so it can be but rarely necessary to welcome simultaneously three books of such importance dealing with this one subject. Let us extend to the three at once the warmest possible welcome, and proceed to consider separately their individual contents, and the light that they throw on the recent trend of speculation in atomic theory.
