Abstract
THE object of this series of lectures is stated to have been to “place before the general public the present position of some of the main branches of science and to point out the direction in which progress is being made or may be hoped for in the near future.” The book will also be found useful by scientific workers who desire to know something of the advances made in regions other than their own. The names of the lecturers are a sufficient guarantee of the value of the matter presented. It is unfortunate that no index is provided, and, for this reason, perhaps the most useful function of a review is to give some indication of the contents of the book. But it is to be understood that the topics mentioned by no means exhaust the list.
