Synopsis

In this work, I have endeavoured to give a complete and connected account, from a physical standpoint, of the properties possessed by the naturally radio-active bodies. Although the subject is comparatively a new one, our knowledge of the properties of the radio-active substances has advanced with great rapidity, and there is now a very large amount of information on the subject scattered throughout the various scientific journals.

The phenomena exhibited by the radio-active bodies are extremely complicated, and some form of theory is essential in order to connect in an intelligible manner the mass of experimental facts that have now been accumulated. I have found the theory that the atoms of the radio-active bodies are undergoing spontaneous disintegration extremely serviceable, not only in correlating the known phenomena, but also in suggesting new lines of research.
