Abstract
THIS is the first of four volumes designed to give a connected history of the development of all the sciences, with especial regard to their connection with each other. It deals with the earliest records of geometrical and arithmetical learning among the Egyptians and the Sumerian conquerors of Mesopotamia; proceeds to the Greeks from Thales to Aristotle; sketches the development of science in the Greek colonies, the two periods of Alexandrian learning, the Arabian era, and the decline of the Middle Ages; and finally describes the revival of learning in the fifteenth century.
