Referee's report by John Edward Lennard-Jones, on a paper 'A new theory of melting points' by F C Frank Sectional committee: Chemistry Recommended for publication in Proceedings, after revision. The paper is written in an obscure way and it will be unintelligible to most. The author has something to say, but 'does not say it very well'. The paper is more of a discussion than a theory. [Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 1939]. [Title changed to 'Melting as a disorder phenomenon']. Endorsed on verso as received 20 October 1938. October 1938
