Abstract
PROF. A. V. HILL writes: “Attention has been directed recently in the Press to the faculty of prophecy which—within limits—mankind possesses. The following letter sent to me just sixteen years ago (Nov. u, 1909) by my late friend and master, Prof. J. N. Langley, is an example of those qualities of scientific judgment which, on occasion, enable men of rare intellect and knowledge to predict the future. In view of what has happened since he wrote, in the scientific study of muscle, physiologists will appreciate the accuracy and insight of Prof. Langley's forecast and advice; and they may be glad to read, as a tribute to his scientific memory, the words which he himself wrote in 1909.”
