Abstract
THOUGH the interests of the late Graham Wallas were essentially humanistic, there are more reasons than one why the recently published volume of his essays should receive attention in a journal which, while mainly devoted to the physical and biological sciences, takes cognizance of other work which is informed by the scientific spirit. Such work was that of Graham Wallas, who did great service in helping to make social science worthy of its name. He relates how, at the beginning of his maturer studies, he undertook a voyage of exploration among the papers of Francis Place, and how he came out of his years of research a different man. Research was thereafter the keynote of his intellectual life.
