Abstract
THE attempt is often made to teach agricultural science to students who have received no previous scientific training; the results of such an attempt are usually very unsatisfactory. Agricultural problems are indeed highly complex, and if the student is to understand the investigations which have been made to solve them, and is rightly to appreciate the results, he must be first acquainted with the laws and facts of nature which are involved in the phenomena under consideration. The teaching of pure science must thus always precede the teaching of applied science. Technical instruction given alone, can only consist of a series of directions and prescriptions, which are necessarily of very limited value. As soon as a scientific exposition of the subject is attempted, the preliminary study of pure science becomes essential to success. An Experimental Course of Chemistry for Agricultural Students. By T. S. Dymond. Pp. 192. (London: Edward Arnold.)
