Referee's report by Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, on a paper 'A study of the nature of the field theories of the electron and positron and of the meson' by H T Flint
Reference number: RR/68/459
Date: 1944
Description
Sectional Committee: Mathematics
Recommended for publication in the 'Proceedings of the Royal Society of London', in an abridged form. Much of the work has already been done by others. Refers to work of Christian Felix Klein and Wolfgang Ernst Pauli. Suggests better reference be made to previous work of others. The only new information relates to mesons, which would form a paper half the length of the current one.
Contains extra question - 'Is there any information contained in the paper which likely to be of value to the enemy?' Referee replies no.
