Abstract
A STUDENT
I AM sure that all students must be grateful to Prof. Balfour Stewart for his exposition in last week's NATURE (p. 322) of the errors and absurdities into which recent scientific men had fallen, and out of which they are now groping their way. But if it be not trespassing too much on his good nature, may I ask him one or two questions in order to further educe his views on points which he cannot but have given much thought to, though they are points which, without further explanation, some of us are liable to misunderstand. We have some of us had the ”advantage of being wrong first,” combined with the further advantage of thinking ourselves right, but I for one will now gladly admit that I was wrong, if I may thereby hope to join “the generation which is right”.
