INTRODUCTORY NOTE
By Professor J. Arthur Thomson
Was it not the great philosopher and mathematician Leibnitz who said that the more knowledge advances the more it becomes possible to condense it into little books? Now this “Outline of Science” is certainly not a little book, and yet it illustrates part of the meaning of Leibnitz’s wise saying. For here within reasonable compass there is a library of little books—an outline of many sciences.
