Shaking the Foundations of Science

Abstract

MY attention has been drawn to the article in NATURE under the above title, and, as it presents to your readers the proposed South Kensington and Paddington Subway in an aspect which the writer erroneously describes as “the hosts of Mammon threatening the domains of science,” I feel sanguine that a scientific journal such as yours will be even more than ordinarily desirous to have the correct view set before them.
