Excerpt from Science From an Easy Chair a Second Series

I am encouraged by the kind reception given to the first selection of papers from my weekly contributions to the 'Daily Telegraph' to publish a second series of 'Science from an Easy Chair,' of like form and size. I have given in this, as in the earlier volume, some figures in illustration of the articles, and have, here and there, revised and expanded the originals. It must be remembered that these papers are, strictly speaking, "occasional." There is no attempt to treat any subject in a complete or detailed way. The chapters are purposely arranged so as to produce a variegated result - a mixed assortment in which it is hoped that readers of differing interests may find each something to his taste. I hope that some may be led by the reading of one of my short chapters to look further into the matter of which it treats and to consult more thorough-going treatises abounding in details and pictures which are beyond the scope of this little volume.
