156/203 Prof.Meldola, to whom I mentioned in conversation the existence of the letter, urged me strongly to print it. This, therefore, I now do, with the addition of a few explanatory notes. TO G.BENTHAM.Down, November 25th, 1869. The notes to this letter are by Sir W.Thiselton-Dyer, and appeared in "Nature," loc. cit.) I was greatly interested by your address, which I have now read thrice, and which I believe will have much influence on all who read it. |
