3. Pasteur — The History of a Mind; by Emile Duclaux. 

 Translated and edited by Erwin F. Smith and Florence 

 Hedges. Pp. 363, illustrated. Philadelphia, 1920 (W. B. 

 Saunders Company. Cloth, $5.00 net). — The unique position 

 which Pasteur held in the modern development of the biological 

 sciences, as well as the remarkable and unusual personality of the 

 man himself, lend a particular value to the details referring to 

 this eminent investigator. Anything which helps to throw light 

 upon the evolution of his ideas and the genesis of his researches 

 is welcomed. To the admirable biography by Vallery-Radot 

 there is at last added, in excellent English translation, the story 

 of Pasteur's scientific endeavors presented by Emile Duclaux, 

 long associated with the undertakings of the French savant. 

 Professor Smith and his collaborator deserve thanks for having 

 presented a French classic, "Pasteur: Histoire d'un Esprit" 

 to English readers. The book is an account of Pasteur's experi- 

 ences in the various intellectual struggles which made him 

 famous — a series of records of sound logic based on experimen- 

 tation. It is rare to find a translation presented in a form that 

 preserves so much of the vigor and fascination of the original 

 text. L. B. M.
