Abstract
THIS little book puts in the simplest possible way some of the facts about the life and work of the great British men of science. Though containing only fifty pages, it is illustrated with twelve coloured plates and nineteen other illustrations. It is the sort of book which might be distributed in large numbers to soldiers and other large sections of the population who wish to know something of those who have had, it is increasingly realized, a most profound influence on the destiny of the human race. The book should also be suitable for readers in foreign lands, who are hazy about the existence and achievements of British men of science.
