Abstract
The potentially important theoretical prediction of Gorkov and Eliashberg that the electronic polarizability of a minute metallic particle is enormously enhanced is shown to be invalid because of the neglect of the effect of depolarization fields. But a more serious objection is the assumption of a constant internal field.Keywords
