Abstract

INQUIRIES which reach us from time to time suggest that many people would find it a convenience to be able to examine books received from publishers abroad and reviewed in NATURE. These volumes are usually not readily accessible, and often the only copies existing in this country are the few sent to scientific journals for review. We have therefore made arrangements to retain at NATURE office, St. Martin's Street, W.C., for a period of six months after the issues in which the reviews have appeared, all volumes published in countries outside the United Kingdom. Every volume from abroad reviewed in our columns will thus be on view freely to anyone who cares to call to see it. This arrangement will begin with our first issue in the New Year, and we believe that many men of science will welcome the opportunity which it will afford them of inspecting American and foreign books of which reviews have been printed in NATURE.
