L'Isotopie et les éléments isotopes

Abstract

THE announcement that the first series of reports published under the auspices of the Journal de Physique was to be followed by a second series must have been welcomed by many physicists, to whom the task of keeping abreast of the manifold developments of the subject has become of daily increasing difficulty. The editors have been fortunate in their choice both of author and subject for this opening volume of the second series. There can be no doubt of the authority with which Mme. Curie speaks in all matters radioactive, or of her ability to marshal and expound her facts in a manner which makes them easy to grasp and assimilate. The fact that she has not been personally concerned in the more startling of the discoveries which she has to narrate is an additional advantage, as it has enabled her to exercise a critical discrimination not so easily attained by one more intimately connected with the development of the subject.
