Abstract
WE thoroughly agree with the following sentence from the English edition of Pasteurs important work: “The debt which English brewers owe to M. Pasteur can hardly be over-estimated;” but, further than this, we believe that the debt which biologists of all countries owe to him for his researches is also a very large one, for it is by a study of these low and simple forms of life that they may expect to learn something of the very beginnings of life itself.
