Abstract
FOR an English doctor of science to write an agricultural text-book for native West African students can be no easy task, and only the West African reader can say how far Dr. Irvine has succeeded in his objects. The outlook of the African native towards soil science must, for example, be different from that of the European, and require a different mode of presentation from the teacher. Dr. Irvine has, however, succeeded in compressing into seventy pages a most lucid and simply expressed account of the essential points of soil science, and although this involves some degree of over-simplification, it always affords at least as adequate an explanation of fact and is as intelligible as the more orthodox point of view.
