Abstract
AT intervals, in every science, investigators and teachers begin to become dissatisfied with accepted methods. They come to realise that the methods in vogue were adapted to a certain stage in the development of the science, and that as the science progresses changes both in the means of investigation and in the manner of teaching become needful. The two books under review have, one feature, and perhaps only one, in common; they both are attempts to introduce improved methods, the one in investigation, the other in teaching.
