Scientific paper

IN his article in NATURE of February 17, p. 209, Mr. F. S. Marvin says: `` When in the sixteenth century the mind of Ancient Greece awoke again ... '' The advent of modern science is here considered as a revival and continuation of Greek knowledge; an opinion very commonly held, but entailing some difficulty-a millenary period of stagnation and even retrogression. This is inconceivable; the very essence of science is progress, continuous but not steady, because the rate is increasing. This characteristic of science was pointed out in the Harveian Oration for 1897 by Sir William Roberts (`` Science and Modern Civilisation, '' NATURE, October 28, 1897, vol. 56, p. 621).
