Abstract
THE lives of men to whose genius and untiring devotion to research the stately edifice of modern science owes its existence, have a fascination and an interest which appeal to a much wider circle than that of the few who are able to realise the full significance of their epoch-making scientific discoveries. Even those to whom science is little more than a name are capable of feeling a keen interest in everything that concerns the purely human element in the lives of the great leaders in science. Hence there has arisen a demand for biographical literature of this type, a demand which the “Century Science Series,” to which the volume before us is the latest addition, is intended to meet.
