Abstract
THE University of London now insists that candidates for a degree in science shall be able to read and understand accounts in the original of French and German scientific work. In compiling this book Mr. Hartog has had the needs of such students in mind so far as French is concerned, and he has succeeded in bringing together a varied and representative collection of extracts from French scientific works and scientific periodicals. Among the latter the Revue géneraĺe des Sciences takes a very prominent position, contributing to Mr. Hartog's collection as many as fifteen extracts. The book should be of service not only to the undergraduates referred to, but also to students of science everywhere, for it is now more than ever necessary that the man of science should be able to acquaint himself at first hand with the results of fellow-workers abroad.
