Summary

Although Dr Shoenberg's classic 1938 monograph preceded the great burst of activity which followed the development of a fundamental theory of superconductivity, its phenomenological description of the magnetic and thermodynamic properties and of size effects in superconductors are essential parts of the subject which must be properly understood before the newer ideas can really be appreciated.
