Aggregation and Flow of Solids: Being the Records of an Experimental Study of the Micro-structure and Physical Properties of Solids in Various States of Aggregation , 1900–1921

THIS is a book that will hold a true child of science like any fairy-tale, and it would be difficult to overstate its fascinating interest. In form, in substance, and in all its auspices it is so highly individual. It is a story, a connected story, of the leisure pursuits of one of our leading and most enlightened industrialists, who for many years, and pre-eminently in the stress of war, has rendered great services to his country. But it is a record that would adorn a life wholly devoted to the pursuit of science.
