Abstract
THIS dainty little book, elegantly produced by the Oxford University Press, does not pretend to be a history of science in classical times. Sir D'Arcy Thompson did not but collect in it twelve lectures delivered by him on different occasions from 1910 until 1935 (a distinguished jubilee), and connected with various aspects of science, as it was conceived and understood in this remote period, when the foundations of science were laid.
