Abstract
PROF. CONANT has produced a book which supplies a gap in scientific literature, and on it he has expended great diligence in collecting the materials, and circumspection in dealing with them. The problems of the origin and development of the number concept are important alike to the anthropologist and the psychologist, and all attempts to connect these two branches of science are most welcome; for the scope of the book, therefore, and for its execution, Dr. Conant is to be congratulated.
The Number Concept: its Origin and Development.
By Levi Leonard Conant 8vo. Pp. 218. (New York and London: Macmillan and Co., 1896.)
