Abstract
IN 1892 the late Lord Rayleigh rescued from oblivion in the archives of the Royal Society a remarkable paper by John James Waterston which had been written in 1845 but had failed to obtain the approval of the Society, and had, therefore, not been printed in the Proceedings. So completely has his work been ignored that it will probably come as a surprise to the majority that his writings (published and hitherto unpublished), which have been collected and published by Dr. J. S. Haldane, extend to more than seven hundred pages.
The Collected Scientific Papers of John James Waterston.
Edited, with a Biography, by Dr. J. S. Haldane. Pp. lxviii + 709 + 5 plates. (Edinburgh and London: Oliver and Boyd, 1928.) 25s. net.
