Abstract
(1) PROF. THOMSON has prepared an admirable introduction to the scientific section of the series of which he is joint-editor. He has an inspiring gospel to expound, and has proved himself a worthy apostle of it. Science stands for truth and righteousness, for exact observation, for progress at all costs, for that divine discontent with existing knowledge which stimulates persistent inquiry into the unknown, and leads the true philosopher, in Sir John HerschePs words, βto hope all things not impossible and to believe all things not unreasonable.β
