Mr. W. C. D. Whetham svolume on The Recent Development of Physical Science. Tfound the story of the modern progress of physics so interesting as to encourage the belief that a similar account of the subjects with which I was myself more particularly familiar might prove of a like interest to other people. I did not, indeed, suppose for a moment that I could vie with Mr. Whetham in the power of literary expression which renders his book so eminently readable. I rather hoped that the peculiar interest and importance of the theme might outweigh the present authors deficiencies in this respect. For the group of subjects of which I intended to give a brief account Mr. W. Bateson has recently proposed the term genetics, an expression which sufficiently indicates their scope to the initiated. Since, however, the meaning of the word genetics is not yet clearly understood by everybody, it seemed better to adopt in the present instance a somewhat more descriptive title.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
