Abstract
IS it not time that men of science should raise a protest against the publication of books without a date on their title-page? This is a practice which has been common to maps and a certain class of books of reference, and it comes, to my mind, very near to being a deliberate fraud, as it seeks to pass off as new that which is more or less obsolete. We should surely do our utmost to prevent this habit from spreading to scientific books, such as the translation of van't Hoff's “Physical Chemistry,” which is reviewed in NATURE of February 7.
