Abstract
MANY useful hints on the composition of scientific papers, and methods of presenting observations and results logically and precisely, are given in this small volume. Much practice, combined with a sense of literary values, are required for the production of a scientific paper to satisfy all the canons of style which writers are expected to acknowledge. There are, however, many typographical and other conventions which every author should know; and it is particularly in guidance as to the use of these that this book will be helpful.
