Abstract

Mysteries of Time and Space
September 13, 1883 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Mysteries of Time and Space," by Richard A. Proctor. In rare parts, these collections of essays are good, but, like so many of their predecessors, are conspicuous for their prolixity, and, as a whole, worth only the slenderest commendation. The most compelling, and at the same time repelling, feature of the volume is its omniprevalent pugnacity. His later writings indicate an exhaustion of his stock of popular scientific fact.
