It must be our aim to correlate the external appearance of a crystal, and its physical properties also, with the arrangement of the atoms inside and the forces that join the atoms together. We might hope to gain so much knowledge on these points that, given a certain set of atoms, it would become possible to anticipate the design of their arrangement and to describe all the characteristics of the crystalline substance as consequences. The analysis of crystals by means of X-rays has given us a little help along this road, and we begin to see certain principles in broad outline.
