Abstract

THIS short biography gives all the essential facts of Pasteur's life and work. Commencing with his early days, the salient features of his researches and discoveries are summarised in chronological order, and for the uninitiated reader explanatory paragraphs are introduced where necessary. The text is very readable, and is illustrated with several figures and some good portraits. A sympathetic account is given of the celebrations on Pasteur's seventieth birthday and of his last days, and we leave the great veteran sleeping in the beautiful little chapel in the basement of the Pasteur Institute, where “four angels watch over him, Faith, Hope, Charity, and Science, and in the laboratories above his tomb, his great work is going on.”
