Abstract
WILL you allow me to point out that the reviewer, in your issue of May 17 (p. 52), apparently misunderstands the object of my “Text-book of Biology”? The work is not meant to supplant lectures, but to aid them, by reducing for the student the wearisome labour of note-taking, and by enabling the teacher to enlarge where necessary, and to treat the subject from other points of view, running meanwhile less risk of addressing an audience of mere scribbling-machines.
