Abstract
SPECIALISATION in science, and the organis sation of research, undoubtedly lead to rapid advance in the elucidation of particular groups of phenomena; but they are also responsible for systematic neglect of others. Thus there remain dark corners into which the investigators of the last century swept the trifles which they preferred to leave unconsidered.The Divining-Rod: an Experimental and Psychological Investigation.By Sir William Barrett Theodore Besterman. Pp. xxiii + 336 + 12 plates. (London: Methuen and Co., Ltd., 1926.) 18s. net.
