The Use of Scientific Terms

Abstract

I AM glad that so distinguished a physicist as Dr. Lodge has found certain matters relating to the history of physiology, which I discussed, I fear very imperfectly, in my Nottingham address, to be of sufficient interest to induce him to read and criticise it. Fully appreciating the geniality with which his criticisms are expressed, I will ask your permission to comment on one or two points in his letter, which may not be uninteresting to the readers of NATURE.
