The modification of the radiative decay rate of a source atom embedded in a uniform, isotropic dielectric is calculated to first order in the density of the dielectric atoms using a microscopic approach. In contrast to the recent results of Crenshaw and Bowden [

Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1851 (2000)

], the decay rate is found to be consistent with macroscopic theories based on quantization of the field in the dielectric.
