The Intra-Mercurial Planet Question

Abstract

I HAVE read, in NATURE, vol. xx. p. 597, your editorial on the above subject. To the language of that portion of it relating to my observations I take most decided exception. You have, unintentionally of course, done me not a little injustice, owing to a misconception of what I have written, and, strangely enough, you have changed my language, giving it not merely a different, but an opposite, meaning.
