Abstract
THE “Life of Sir William Siemens,” which was noticed in the pages of NATURE some months ago, has been followed by three most interesting volumes containing a reprint of his scientific papers. The task of editing the collection was committed by the executors to Mr. E. F. Bamber, for many years private secretary to Sir William Siemens, and it has been admirably discharged. The labour has been no light one; for the volumes contain, besides the greater and more highly finished contributions to the learned Societies, a very large number of extracts from the published proceedings of the various Societies and from the scientific journals—reports of the speeches delivered by Sir William Siemens during the discussions at scientific meetings.
The Scientific Works of Sir William Siemens, LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S.
3 Vols. (London: John Murray, 1889.)
