Abstract
WE do not recommend this work to the serious attention of our readers, but as a study in word-stringing it is not devoid of interest. It appears to be the production of a writer who has acquired a knowledge of scientific terms by extensive reading, without having any real grasp of the vast range of subjects over which he travels. The result is such as might have been arrived at by a student who had been through a hurried course of cram, and who at his final examination had been set some such question as this:—Given, a vocabulary of scientific terms, construct a theory of the universe.
