Abstract
DURING the last few years Herbert Reichner, of 34 East 62nd Street, New York, 21, has issued a number of catalogues offering for sale early and classic works on all branches of science and philosophy. Nos. 3-6 bear the following titles: Civilization through Five Centuries; French Science and Thought; Great Thinkers from Albertus Magnus to Albert Einstein; Literature, History, Art and Science. These catalogues are well printed, extensively annotated, and indexed; and each of the last three includes a useful list of reference works that have been consulted. Many important and uncommon works are listed, and the catalogues are full of interest for students of the history and early literature of science. They should afford collectors and librarians, if their purses are sufficiently well lined, a number of opportunities to fill gaps in their collections.
