Excerpt from The Smithsonian Institution The present Series represents the only departure from this rule. I wish to emphasize that it is an exception and that the traditional policy of free distribution of the Smithsonian's regular publications will in no wise be changed. The Smithsonian Scientific Series takes its place in the field in which the Institution had hitherto been represented almost solely by the Annual Reports. It is intended to enlighten and interest the general reader. It does not represent an attempt to summarize all science, or even all branches of science on which the Smithsonian can speak with authority. It will, however, acquaint the reader with the organization, history, and activities of the scientific institution which has grown up with the nation and fostered the nation's scientific activities; it will introduce him to the workings and achievements of the scientific method over a large field, and open doors to some branches of science to which he will not find the key elsewhere.
