Abstract
MR. COLLIER'S letter, NATURE, vol. x. p. 43, is even more astonishing than anything that Mr. Spencer has written. A mathematician who reads it feels something like Alice behind the looking-glass; and perhaps behind the looking-glass it may be “a question pertaining to the psychological basis of inductive logic,” with which mathematicians, as such, have nothing to do. But in this world, this side the looking-glass, in which forces are measured and effects are measured, Mr. Collier's letter is very perplexing.
