4. Science and Learning in France; ivith a Survey of Oppor- 

 tunities for American Students in French Universities. An 

 Appreciation hy American Scholars; edited by John H. Wig- 

 more. Pp. xxxviii, 455; illustrated. 1917. (The Society for 

 American Fellowships in French Universities.) — rThis notable 

 volume is dedicated to the scholars of France by their colleagues 

 in America. Its chief object is to present to the American public 

 at large a survey of what France has contributed to scientific 

 knowledge and to show the position which she occupies on this 

 account. It thus gives a record for the past century, at once 

 comprehensive and concise, of French scholarship, with an 

 account of the many eminent leaders who have contributed to 

 it. There are also given statements as to the courses of instruc- 

 tion at the Universities, particularly the University of Paris and, 

 further, the facilities available for study and research. The 

 work is edited by Prof. J. H. Wigmore and the list of authors 

 includes about one hundred names. Dr. Eliot contributes to the 

 Introduction a paper on the ''Mind of France" and Dr. Hale 

 another on the ''Intellectual Inspiration of Paris." There are 

 a large number of special contributions by different authors from 

 many American universities, and the interest of these is increased 

 by the numerous portraits of French savants which are intro- 

 duced. At the present time, when France and America are 

 drawn more closely together than ever before, this expression of 

 homage to the intellectual greatness of France and the value of 

 her contributions to science is most opportune.
