Excerpt from Rough Ways Made Smooth: A Series of Familiar Essays on Scientific SubjectsIT is scarcely necessary for me to explain the plan of the present work, because I have already - in introducing my Light Science for Leisure Hours,' my Science Byways,' and my Pleasant Ways in Science - described the method on which, as I think, such treatises as the present should be written. This work deals with similar subjects in a similar way; but I think the experience I have acquired in writing other works on the same plan has enabled me to avoid some defects in the present work which I have recognised in the others.The list of subjects indicates sufficiently the range over which the present volume extends. Some of them might be judged by their names to be in no way connected with science, but it will be found that none have been treated except in their scientific significance, though in familiar and untechnical terms.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
