Abstract
THIS is a readable and instructive collection of studies, containing, among others, notices of two women notable in their different ways in the history of science—Caroline Herschel and Alexandrine Tinné, the famous African explorer. The studies are marked by care and neatness, and are on the whole fair estimates of the work and life of the subjects. They are accompanied by six well-executed steel portraits.
