Abstract
IT would be difficult, we think, to overestimate the value of the evidence brought together in the second volume published by the Science Commission. The first volume dealt mainly with the diffusion of knowledge; the second is concerned mainly with the advancement of Science. The Commission has done good service in bringing before Parliament and the country the carefully weighed opinions of men of the highest mark in all departments of Science on subjects of the first importance, not only in their bearing on the advancement of Science but also on some of the best interests of this country. We propose to show the general bearing of the evidence contained in the volume on some of the questions on which the Commission sought information, omitting all opinions of our own.
