Excerpt from The Forms of Water: In Clouds and Rivers, Ice and Glaciers
It is designed to consist of compendious scientific treatises, representing the latest advances of thought upon subjects of general interest, theoretical and prae tical, to all classes of readers. The familiar phenomena of surrounding Nature, in their physical and chemical aspects, the knowledge of which has recently undergone marked extension or revision, will be considered in their latest interpretations. Biology, or the general science of life, which has lately come into prominence, will be explained in its leading and most important principles. The subject of mind, which, under the inductive method and on the basis of its physical accompaniments and con ditions, is giving rise to a new psychology, will be treated with the fulness to which it is entitled. The laws of man's social development, or the natural history of so ciety, which are now being studied by the scientific method, will also receive a due share of attention. While the books of this series are to deal with a wide diversity of topics, it will be a leading object of the enterprise to present the bearings of inquiry upon the higher ques tions of the time, and to throw the latest light of science upon the phenomena of human nature and the economy of human life.
