Abstract
IT appears to be a growing practice in this country to publish books with a preface by some man of distinction, whose name figures prominently on the cover It is a pity that publishers cannot agree to discountenance this practice. Either a book is worth reading without the recommendation or it is not worth reading even with it. Not but what the introduction in this case is worth reading.
Travels in Space.
By E. Seton Valentine F. L. Tomlinson. With an Introduction by Sir Hiram S. Maxim. Pp. 328; with about sixty illustrations. (London: Hurst and Blackett, 1902.)
