Abstract
IN the very remarkable contribution by Professor Sylvester, (NATURE, NO. 9) this sentence occurs: “It is very common, not to say universal, with English writers, even such authorised ones as Whewell, Lewes, or Herbert Spencer, to refer to Kant's doctrine as affirming space to be a ‘form of thought’ ‘or of the understanding.’ This is putting into Kant's mouth (as pointed out to me by Dr. C. M. Ingleby) words which he would have been the first to disclaim.”
