Abstract
A LITTLE more than a year ago I told in these pages, with a very sore heart, the story of what the late Sir Alfred Jones had accomplished for the West Indies by enlightened commercial methods. That chapter is unhappily closed, for no one has succeeded him. It is a more hopeful task which is now imposed upon me—to give some account of what science has done, and will continue to do. It is worth the telling, and it is more than a mere record of success, but carries a moral of far-reaching extent.
