Abstract
THE two earlier volumes of this work—which is to be completed in six volumes—were noticed in NATURE of March 4 (vol. lxxx., p. 1). The intention of the work is to give a broad outline of the principles of science and their relations to human progress and industry. The various departments of natural knowledge are surveyed by eleven different authors, each of whom is well qualified to deal with his particular subject. The present volume is devoted chiefly to light, sound, magnetism, electricity, and other branches of physics not dealt with in the second volume; and, in addition, about seventy pages are given to general biology and botany.
