Abstract

I SHOULD like to state, in reply to Mr. George Romanes' letter (NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 75), that the question of “Responsibility” was left out of my letter (NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 29) partly because it seemed to me a separate or somewhat distinct subject, and partly from the fact that this matter had been already considered by me in connection with a paper on “Natural Science and Morality,” to be published in the Journal of Science for July next; and to this, therefore, I would venture to refer those who may be interested in this question.
