Colin Clout's Calendar; The Record of a Summer, April-October

Abstract

OF all the writers in this country who seek to render the facts and the theories of modern science attractive to the general public, Mr. Grant Allen is in our opinion among the most successful. We know that he does not profess to be in any serious manner an original investigator of these facts, and we are far from being always ready to accept his theories; but in most of his writings we meet with a characteristic ingenuity of thought, and perhaps a still more characteristic grace of style, which together render his essays the most entertaining in the kind of literature to which they belong.
