Abstract
IT has been pointed out to me that the same errors which I noted in this book (NATURE, vol. xiv. p. 26), had been corrected as regards Prof. Page's “Advanced Text-book” by Mr. Wallace three years ago. They can scarcely, therefore, be anything but wilful, and it is difficult to understand how they could be allowed to reappear. We do expect teachers of position at least to do their best to teach rightly; and when one has fallen into error it is certainly more manly to correct it than to stick to it, because it has once been committed. It is a good thing to teach science, but it is just the opposite deliberately to teach false science.
