Translator’s Note

T he translator wishes to express his indebtedness to Professor Larmor, for kindly consenting to introduce the author of Science and Hypothesis to English readers; to Dr. F. S. Macaulay and Mr. C. S. Jackson, M.A., who have read the whole of the proofs and have greatly helped by suggestions; also to Professor G. H. Bryan, F.R.S., who has read the proofs of Chapter VIII., and whose criticisms have been most valuable.
