Abstract
MR. M. A. BROWNE'S letter (p. 102) raises an interesting and difficult question which at some period of his career must be faced by every student attempting to grasp for himself the significance of the second law of thermodynamics. As I, with difficulty and without much help from the text-books, extricated myself from a similar dilemma, perhaps the steps in the train of reasoning which helped me may interest others.
