Abstract
IN view of Prof. T. M. Lowry's remarkable industry as an investigator, it is a matter for further admiration that he should be able to produce, as a sort of by-product, this extensive work on optical activity. Nothing of an equally original character has hitherto appeared in book form in English; and its arrival is very welcome on that account, as also because it is an attempt to give a conspectus of the whole field, including, happily, the historical development of the subject.
