Abstract
BY the introduction of parenthetical sentences between words, which do to some extent represent my meaning, though they are not mine, as the inverted commas would imply, and by the omission of the main point of his own argument, Mr. Ley has presented as mine certain propositions which may well appear to him and to every one who reads them, not only irreconcileable, but sheer nonsense. As these parenthetical interpolations are Mr. Ley's own, and as the point in his argument to which I took exception was not the application of Buys Ballot's Law, but his proposition—shortly stated—that revolving storms are caused by heavy rain, I conceive that his version of my views, which may be funny but is certainly incorrect, is scarcely worth the serious attention of any one.
