Abstract
DESPITE any criticism of detail, this is a work indispensable to all persons for whom books are practical tools. This volume will have a special appeal to readers of NATURE; although it includes the classes of science, art, music, drama, domestic arts, and sports, three-quarters of the volume (which contains pp. 1681—2510 of the complete work) come under the heading of science.
The Best Books: a Reader's Guide to the Choice of the best available Books in every Department of Science, Art, and Literature, with the Dates of the first and last Editions, and the Price, Size, and Publisher's Name (both English and American) of each Book: a Contribution towards Systematic Bibliography.
By William Swan Sonnenschein. With complete Authors and Subjects Index. Third edition, entirely rewritten. Part 4. Pp. 1681–2510. (London: George Routledge and Sons, Ltd., n.d.) 36s. net.
