Abstract
IF there is one thing more curious than another in the “Spontaneous Generation” theory, it is the way in which so-called matters of fact, as proved by careful experiment, are brought forward by the one side to be disproved by the other; one need only instance Pasteur's famous flask experiments, which were thought to be so overwhelming at the time, but which were afterwards refuted, I think by Frémy and others.
