TitleReferee's report by Charles Galton Darwin, on a paper 'The equations of electromagnetism. I - Fundamental identifications. II - Field theory' by Edward Arthur Milne
DateAugust 1937
DescriptionSectional committee: Mathematics

He doesn't agree with the results of the paper but the theory is good enough to be printed. The papers are far too long and should be considerably shortened. There should be a fuller discussion about the implications of the formula for a magnetic field. The paper should be forwarded to Dirac, although he isn't sure if he is currently abroad.

[Noth papers published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1938].
