Abstract

I SHOULD be inclined to let Prof. Dewar's manner of replying to my statements speak for itself were it not that he makes in his last letter imputations of an unwarrantable kind. He says, “Mr. Hampson got at my assistant behind my back.” This expression is quite indefensible. I received an introduction to Mr. Lennox from the senior partner of a large chemical firm in London of the highest standing, who said that he had a familiar acquaintance with Prof. Dewar's assistant. Had he been sufficiently intimate with Prof. Dewar himself to offer me a confident hope of gaining that gentleman's attention directly, I should at that time have been still better pleased with an introduction to him.
