Book Description

Excerpt from The Life of the Fly: With Which Are Interspersed Some, Chapters of Autobiography Mail; The Pond, Industrial Chemistry and the two chapters on the Bluebottle in The English Review; and The H armas, The Pond and Industrial Chemistry in the New York Bookman. The others are new to England and America, unless any of them should be issued in newspapers or magazines between this date and the publication of the book. I wish once more to thank Miss Frances Rodwell for her assistance in the details of my work and in the verification of the many references; and my thanks are also due to Mr. Edward Cahen, who has been good enough to revise the two chemistry chapters for me, and to Mr. W. S. Graff Baker, who has per formed the same kindly task towards the two chapters entitled Mathematical Memories.
