THE 

 ROMANCE OF SCIENCE 



THE aim of the Romance of Science series is to 

 present in a highly popular and interesting manner 

 some of the more important generalizations of modern 

 science. In these days of thrilling fiction it is a pleasant 

 thing to note that nature has her romances, and that 

 science can make her story as interesting and far more 

 edifying than the productions of the novelist. There can 

 be no healthier interest than that associated with nature, 

 and those who have the care of young people would do 

 well to furnish to them betimes such works as would 

 naturally attract them towards its study. These volumes 

 are eminently suited for the purpose.
