Abstract
JUST as “anyone can play the piano” with a pianoplayer, so anyone can write a book on the philosophy of science. The result gives satisfaction and pleasure to the performer in one case and to the writer in the other, but whether his particular interpretation is equally satisfying to an outsider is another question. The effects are, however, more lasting in the case of the author, for we are getting such an enormous accumulation of books on space, matter, force, the ether, and laws of nature that it is becoming a wonder who finds time to read them or even to cut their pages, if the publisher has failed to attend to his proper duties in this respect.
Les Lois naturelles.
By Félix Le Dantec. Pp. xvi + 308. (Paris: Félix Alcan, 1904.) Price 6 francs.
