Abstract
THE truths of science cannot be more impressively taught than by a sketch of the process by which the knowledge has been arrived at, and in no way can that history be more forcibly conveyed than in the biographies of those pioneers who first interpreted the phenomena for us. We may have wondered why the truth was not sooner grasped, but by this method of treating the subject we see what imperfection of evidence or prejudice stood in the way, and learn to appreciate the true spirit of original research which eventually rises above and overcomes all difficulties. The Founders of Geology. By Sir Archibald Geikie. Pp. x + 297. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1897.)
