This book as reviewed by Charles Kofoid is "rather a selection of movements incidents and men dramatically presented by the writer. His discussion of "what if anything is scientific literature" leads to the conclusion that this literature as distinct from other forms of writing did not arrive until the 19th century when in English it became characteristic of the Victorian period and then largely in the field of the natural sciences. The writings of Darwin and Huxley exemplify this the first model of dispassionate clarity the second of forceful argument . . ." – Kofoid. ISIS volume 27 number 1. Macmillan, 1930. hardcover books
