Abstract
(1) DR. WOODS puts forward “a new scientific theory,”and asks that his views “shall be carefully considered and supported if they appear true, or attacked if they seem false.“He could ask nothing more difficult to grant. Judged by the canons of men of science, his views are certainly incorrect, always when they are new, and sometimes when they are not; his book suggests an essay written by somebody who attended a course of popular lectures at the Royal Institution twenty-five years ago, and afterwards lost his notes.
