Abstract
YOUR reviewer takes exception to my empirical description of carbonic acid in “Notes on the Food of Plants,” p. 23. I readily admit—and I should have thought it was unnecessary to, do so—that to describe carbonic acid as “carbon dioxide combined with water” is not strictly correct; but I think it is much more likely that I should have led my unscientific readers astray, had I explained, in more accurate language, the supposed composition of this acid.
