We have received Part 1 of The Outline of Science, edited by Prof. J. 
Arthur Thomson (G. Newnes, Ltd., 40 pp., 1/2 net). The work is to be 
completed in about 20 fortnightly parts, and if those to follow are as 
fascinating and as well illustrated as the one before us, the work will do 
much to popularise science. ‘ The Romance of the Heavens/ and ‘ The 
Story of Evolution ' occur in this section.
