Excerpt from Scientific Lectures
IN these days of limited leisure, and continually increasing literary activity, when there is more and more that every intelligent man would wish to read, and apparently less and less time for'reading, an apology is required for the publication of a book, however small, which does not profess to contain anything absolutely new. At the same time, the very circum stances above referred to, render it desirable that the observations of specialists should be condensed and epitomized for the general reader, and hence the continually increasing demand for lectures; which freed not, because they are popular, be the less truly scientific.
