A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF RADIO-ACTIVITY CHAPTER I DISCOVERY OF RADIO-ACTIVITY THF. ohject. or t.his hrief t.reatj~e is to give a simple account of the development of our knowledge of radioactivity and its bearing on chemical and physical science. lIathem atical processes will be Olnitted, as it is sufficient to give the assured results from calculations which arc likely to be beyond the training of the reader. Experimental evidence "rill be given in detail wherever it is fundamental and necessary to a confident grasp of some of the lnarvelous deductions in this new branch of sci~nce. Theories cannot be avoided, but the facts remain while theories grow old and are discarded for others more in accord with the facts.
