Abstract
KING GEORGE'S reign will always be remembered in history for three, or rather four, unique events of world-wide as well as national importance. It has contained the whole period of the greatest war in history and the more difficult part of the reconstruction which followed it. It has seen the foundation of the League of Nations and its early growth. It has witnessed an unparalleled economic depression from which we are now slowly recovering, and which we hope and believe His Majesty will survive to see completely overcome. Lastly, in the sphere with which NATURE is more specially concerned, the King's reign covers the establishment of the most far-reaching transformation of our ideas of the material universe, for Einstein's ideas gained general acceptance just after the conclusion of the War.
