I HAVE now had time to read Mr. Marmery's book, and 

 find it a work of great learning and research, conveying in 

 a clear and intelligible form a mass of most useful and 

 interesting history of the Progress of Science, from its first 

 dawn in Egypt and Chaldaea, through the Greek, Arabian, 

 Mediaeval, and Modern periods, down to the present day. 

 It comprises also brief memoirs of the illustrious men to 

 whom we are indebted for the principal discoveries of 

 Science, from Thales and Pythagoras down to Darwin and 

 Herbert Spencer, and I can confidently recommend it as 

 alike interesting and instructive.
