Abstract
As the successor to Routledge's “Discoveries and Inventions of the Nineteenth Century”, Mr. Cressy's book has enjoyed considerable popularity. First published in 1914, a second edition appeared in 1922, and to this further matter has now been added, and the number of illustrations has been increased. No one, perhaps, realises the difficulty of attempting to deal with modern discoveries and inventions in one volume, or of keeping such a volum,e up-to-date, more than the author himself.
