Présentation de l'éditeur
State, of the supreme importance of utilizing and developing in the fullest measure the aptitude for scientific research which is unquestionably a characteristic of theB ritish race. The time seemed propitious for emphasizing a particular aspect of the general question of the interdependence of many phases of national prosperity and a just appreciation of the value of pure science. Original research, as the late Prof. Meldola said, is in itself the most powerful weapon that has been or ever can be wielded by mankind in struggling with the great problems which nature offers on all sides for solution. It is widely believed that technical education stands for efficiency and prosperity, but pure science is regarded as something apart a purely academic subject. It was with a view to demonstrate the fallacy of this distinction that the present volume was suggested.
