Abstract
THIS splendidly produced and entertaining volume is the third of a series which Mr. Gunther has devoted to an account of the historic remains of scientific Oxford. They stand as a permanent memorial of the subject of which they treat. Like its predecessors, this volume is in the form of a catalogue, in which each heading is provided with a short introduction. It differs from the generality of catalogues in being extremely readable, and in the capacity that its author exhibits to lead the reader from point to point. Mr. Gunther is to be heartily congratulated on an achievement involving a most unusual combination of persistence, scientific knowledge in many departments, self-devotion, and literary skill and charm.
