ELECTRONS (+ and-), PROTONS, PHOTONS, NEUTRONS, MESOTRONS, AND
COSMIC RAYS. originally published in 1934. PREFACE: In 1917 the
University pf Chicago Press published a small volume entitled The
Electron which was intended to be a rather simple presentation of
some of the newer de velopments in physics with which my own work
had been closely associated. In 1924 a revised edition of this work
appeared. A few years later I had the honor of giving The Messenger
Lectures at Cornell University and in them still further expanded
and brought up to date these newer developments. The present volume
grows immediately out of these Messenger Lectures, but is, of
course, an attempt to make the presentation as true a picture as I
am able to give of the situation as it exists at the date of
publication, Janu ary i, 1935. In a sense this work may be looked
upon as a third re vision of The Electron, but it differs from most
revisions in two particulars, First, an effort has been made at the
request of the publishers to introduce into The Electron portion
only such changes as are demanded by correct ness of presentation
today, and in fact I have been pleased and somewhat surprised to
find that the historical mode of presentation originally adopted
has rendered radical changes even today both unnecessary and
undesirable. Second, the growth of discovery and the rapidity of
the advance in physics from the base occupied in 1924 has made it
altogether necessary to add six entirely new chap ters ( ad to rvi)
on' Waves and Particles, on The Dis' ccfvby anVl OrigJ* i; 6f
