Abstract
THIS is a wise and instructive book, such as we have learned to expect from Prof. Miall. It is scholarly but restrained, so that the reader is not overwhelmed with too much learning. It is a model of terseness, yet it has that picturesqueness of illustration which is necessary if a history is to grip the ordinary mind. A book like this, which commands our warmest admiration, could not have been written except by one who had studied the history of biology for a long time, and at first hand.
History of Biology.
By Dr. L. C. Miall (The History of Science Series.) Pp. vii + 151. (London: Watts and Co., 1911.) Price 1s. net.
