Abstract
THIS book, from an experienced writer, is the first of a series, now in preparation, entitled “The Great Scientists,” which is to survey in requisite departments the main achievements of scientific progress from early to modern times. The historic sense in Dr. Hart's narrative is well preserved. We notice (p. 64) that 1660 instead of (correctly) 1662 is given as the date of incorporation of the Royal Society. Also (p. 112) the name Tyndal should read Tyndall. The book is handy in size and well printed.
The Great Physicists.
