One of the Earliest Reviews on the State of Quantum Theory KEMBLE, Edwin C. "General Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Part I." In: the Physical Review Supplement, Studies in Contemporary Physics, October 1929, volume 1 #2, pp 157-215 in the issue of pp 157-240. Original printed wrappers. Very good condition. __+__ It is interesting to see these early issues of the Reviews of Modern Physics--especially the vol 1/2 issue under the title "Physical Review Supplement", which would soon changes its name to the RMP. Kemble evidently did a service to the physics community with these well-received papers, coming at a time when there were not many writing in this area . (H. Krage points out in "Quantum Generations" p. 171) that of the 284 papers published in that year (from among the 2400 members and fellows of the APS) that only 45 of them concerned themselves with quantum theory.) Abraham Pais states in "Subtle is the Lord" that the Kemble paper is the first reviewing the state of quantum mechanics at the end of the decade. and at first blush, this seems to be not the case as a review of the subject, though that feeling (for me) is quickly disassociated. (There are some interesting references in the footnotes, including some that are unexpected to me, at least, like a Bridgman paper cited from Harper's Magazine from March 1929. In any event if you're not familiar with this paper it is available online and is at least worth a peek for the footnotes.).
