Abstract
DR. CAMPBELL1 seems himself to have missed the point. I agree with him (though I should not so express it) that “there is not nearly as much difference between the old and the new as Jeans, Eddington and their followers pretend”. This was—obviously, I should have thought—my contention in the original article. The point at issue with Dr. Jeffreys is whether the “old” science realised its character so well as the “new”—quite a different thing.
