Perfect for you if...

You're fascinated by the history of science and want to see what brilliant minds were actually puzzled by 130 years ago.
You enjoy primary sources and firsthand accounts rather than modern interpretations of historical breakthroughs.
You like oddball collections of short pieces on disparate topics, from engineering to botany to physics.

Maybe not for you if...

You expect polished modern science writing. This is rough, earnest Victorian prose that requires patience.
You want a cohesive argument or narrative arc. This is a magazine supplement: scattered, episodic, and incomplete by design.
You need current scientific consensus. Some of these 1891 theories have been thoroughly disproven.
