Professor Wolf's account of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries has won the aclmiration of leading authorities. The new volume presents a similarly full, and profusely illustrated, account of the progress made during the eighteenth century in Mathematics, Mechanics, Astronomy, Physics, Meteorology, Geography, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Psychology, Demography, Economics, Philosophy, and Technology. Moreover, it portrays the whole spirit of the century, and the ferment resulting from the direction of the critical temper of science to social and political problems. In these days it should be particularly stimulating to come into touch with ``the Age of Enlightenment, when all the spiritual forces were harnessed to the chariot oi human progress.`
