Abstract
THE method of controversy by correspondence has this advantage, when the correspondence is published in book form, that there is something very entertaining for the reader, who is in the happy position of a person watching a fencing bout or a game of billiards. But what such a book gains in entertainment value it may lose in other directions; it may, for example, be so discursive in method that it gets nowhere—or at least not nearly so far as the reader thinks he has a right to expect. Such indeed is the failing of the very interesting volume before us, wherein Mr. Arnold Lunn and Prof. J. B. S. Haldane engage in conflict for our edification.
