The passage discusses the importance of recognizing and utilizing original scientific publications from the Continent, particularly in Anglo-Saxon countries. The author, J. Timmernans, highlights his treatise "Les Solutions Concentrées" (1936) and another work "Chemical Species" (1927) as sources that provide detailed arguments on the interpretation of maximum melting points in mixtures of optical antipodes. He emphasizes the need for better integration and recognition of scientific contributions from non-German sources. In another section, H. G. Dines addresses the issue of the term 'soil mechanics' and its misuse in engineering literature. He suggests that the term 'earth mechanics' or 'earth statics' might be more appropriate, as it avoids the ambiguity and confusion caused by the dual usage of 'soil' to refer to both soil and unconsolidated deposits. Dines argues that the misuse of the term 'soil' is more problematic than the choice of the name of the science. The final section, by J. C. Gregory, explores the concept of force through sensory experiences. He references Prof. H. H. Price's analysis of muscular sensations and contact sensations, noting that the absence of contact sensations can lead to an awareness of "pure force." Gregory also discusses the concept of force in the "Hermetica," highlighting its efficacy, immortality, imperceptibility, and radiative nature, while emphasizing its connection to material bodies through sensations of contact.The passage discusses the importance of recognizing and utilizing original scientific publications from the Continent, particularly in Anglo-Saxon countries.
