We regret that we have no space in this number to publish an Essay-Review 

 upon this magnificent tribute to Shakespeare (due to Professor Gollancz), 

 which, though it is rather a literary than a scientific work, will still appeal to 

 all men of science. Another book which will make the same appeal is the 

 one mentioned below ; and we propose to review both in our next number.
