‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "This book was strongly influenced by Poincaré's important memoir of 1912, Sur la théorie des quanta , which demonstrated the near-impossibility of circumventing the quantum hypothesis by classical arguments. Jeans constructed arguments convincing himself that Planck's law could not result as a steady-state distribution in classical physics ; and in this report he stressed as sharply as possible the break which the early quantum theory represented with classical principles and the inadequate state of the quantum theory of that time...".
