Abstract
PROF. CAULLERY gives a bird's-eye view of French scientific thought from the seventeenth century to the present day, He could scarcely do more than that in the small compass of his book, which thus suffers from unsupported generalisations, especially about the Middle Ages and about the philosophical bearings of the theories discussed. As an introductory book, it will be found very useful and inspiring, though his bibliography is not quite up-to-date.
