Abstract
[Fortunately, inability to maintain a scientific thesis before philosophic or other authorities no longer involves such penalties as those to which Galileo was subjected. The whole purpose of the article to which Sir George Greenhill refers was to show that the freedom of experimental inquiry thus secured had far-reaching social and intellectual consequences, and we judge from his last paragraph that he agrees with this view.—EDITOR, NATURE.]
