My Comments on This Book
   This book gives an abridged report of famous scientific papers. A nice, easily-read, book for the state of science prior to 1924. The only Rutherford one is an abridged Report of a Lecture Rutherford gave to the Physical Society, 20th June 1921. I thought another couple of Rutherford's papers would be warranted. However only Aristotle, Newton, and Darwin have more than one extract.

Errors Noted.
