SCIENTIFIC BOOKS [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR, —I was
very interested in the reference, in your issue of June 25th, 1927, to the little pamphlet, Natural Science in Adult Education, which I have carefully perused. As there is no indication of what steps will be taken to meet the need of those seeking a wider knowledge of natural science, it would have been useful, though probably outside the immediate scope of the Committee's labours, if a list of authoritative books suitable for home study were appended. Reference is made in the report to the " output of books on science written for the general reader," and I believe such a list of books dealing with the different branches of science would be of value to many of your readers.—I am, Sir, &e.,
