Abstract
IN a recent review in these columns of a Stationery Office publication—“Research and the Land” (Dec. 4, 1926)—attention was directed to the dangers that research workers encounter when they enter the journalistic field, a danger picturesquely expressed in the Scots' proverb that —“fules and bairns shouldna see half-dune wark.” The book before us (in part an excursion in that field) is the text of a series of lectures delivered at San Francisco under the provision of the Hitchcock Trust, of which the object and purpose appear to be publicity, not (we hasten to add) in the form of belauding any one person or institution, but with the dignified purpose of creating public confidence in scientific methods and ideals generally.
