Abstract
THIS is a series of extracts (translated into French when not written in that language) from the works of eminent men of science. It appeals mainly to the general reader, and the best that can be hoped of it is that it may induce some members of this class to study the works of one or other man of science seriously. A scientific writer does not appear to the best advantage in “tit-bits” selected from his works; and, except as a possible stimulus, the value of such a miscellany as this cannot be reckoned very high. The portraits, of which there is a considerable number, will probably be found, by scientific readers, the most interesting feature of M. Rebière's compilation.
