  small 
  volumes 
  on 
  scientific 
  sub- 
  

   jects 
  has 
  been

  by

  Carre

  as 
  ]niblishers,

  is 
  intended 
  to 
  present 
  in 
  concise 
  form 
  discussions 
  of 
  

   scientific 
  questions 
  of 
  importance 
  at

  time

   object

  aiding

  busy

  up 
  with 
  the 
  

   bewilderingly 
  rapid

  character 
  of

  be 
  done 
  is 
  

   sufficiently
