Abstract
THE Astronomer Royal for Scotland has written an admirable essay on the general character of scientific knowledge. The argument, though much condensed and avoiding no difficulties, should be intelligible to any normal person who is prepared to apply his mind seriously to the matter. No special scientific or philosophical knowledge is assumed. It is to be hoped that the book will be widely read, as it is well designed to correct popular fallacies about science.
