Abstract
THE author in his preface says that the book is “an attempt, in response to the editor (F. E. Beddard, F.R.S.) of the series (the Progressive Science Series), to set forth a popular statement of our present knowledge of bacteria.” “Popular science,” continues the author, “is a somewhat dangerous quantity with which to deal, On the one hand it may become too popular, on the other too technical. It is difficult to escape the Scylla and Charybdis in such a voyage.”
Bacteria; especially as they are related to the Economy of Nature; to Industrial Processes, and to the Public Health.
By George Newman (Edin.), D.P.H. (Camb.), &c. Pp. xvi + 351. (London: John Murray, 1899.)
