- 'Stars and Atoms' was the title of an Evening Discourse given at the meeting of the British Association in Oxford in August 1926.
- 'The advance in our knowledge of atoms and radiation has led to many interesting developments in astronomy; and reciprocally the study of matter in the extreme conditions prevailing in stars and nebulae has played no mean part in the progress of atomic physics.'
