Abstract
THE principle of relativity has gradually acquired a fundamental position in theoretical physics, and the appearance of an introductory monograph on the subject will be welcomed by all who wish to have a knowledge of its essentials. The present work, as stated in the preface, is written with the purpose of setting out as clearly as possible the relation of the principle to the generally accepted electron theory. Only quite elementary mathematical analysis is employed throughout the book; those who wish to penetrate more deeply in the subject being referred to the author's larger work on “The Principle of Relativity.”
