The Popular Science Review by Various authors presents a late Victorian scientific miscellany that assembles short stand-alone essays, notes, reviews, and a broad scientific summary across physics, biology, astronomy, and science history. This issue emphasizes empirical methods, practical instrumentation, and accessible exposition for educated readers, with plates and diagrams that illuminate complex ideas. Highlights include HITTING THE MARK, ETC. by G. West Royston-Pigott, which describes the Bashforth chronograph and experimental measurements of air resistance to illuminate artillery education and practice; NATURAL SELECTION INSUFFICIENT TO DEVELOPMENT OF MAN by Rev. George Buckle, a philosophical critique of natural selection as the sole driver of human evolution and a discussion of its limits; POLYMORPHIC FUNGI by N. C. Cooke, a cautious, data-driven review of fungal polymorphism; THE ECLIPSE EXPEDITIONS by Richard A. Proctor, an analysis of four British/European eclipse campaigns with debates over funding, methods, and corona phenomena. Additional pieces cover NOTES ON BUTTERFLIES, ON SLEEP, and an expansive REVIEWS section, culminating in a SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY (Astronomy). The issue reflects a disciplined, interdisciplinary pursuit of knowledge through observation, experiment, and public science education in a late?19th?century context.
