Abstract
THOUGH the “prefatory note” makes no mention of the fact, this handsomely produced work appears to be a reproduction for the library-shelf of the number of the American Journal of Science issued in July, 1918 (see NATURE, vol. cii., p. 50). The numerous portraits of American men of science give it distinction, and Clerk Maxwell, Huxley, and Charles Darwin are also represented. It is not stated that the portrait of Huxley is from Collier's famous painting. Some of the articles, as previously noticed, cover the progress of a particular science in the world at large during the century commemorated, 1818–1918.
A Century of Science in America. With Special Reference to the “American Journal of Science,” 1818–1918.
By Edward Salisbury Dana and Others. Pp. 458. (New Haven: Yale University Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1918.) Price 17s. net.
