Abstract
I AM unaffectedly glad to find that one whose opinion has such weight as Mr. Spencer's must have, should have anticipated me in the matters to which he directs your attention in his interesting letter. There can be no question as to his priority; since in 1863 I had not only formed no views respecting the nebulæ; but had no further knowledge of astronomy than I derived from a very faint recollection of what I had learned in a hasty two hours' perusal of Goodwin's Astronomy (Course of Mathematics) the night before our examination on the subject in the “Three days” at Cambridge.
