Tyndall and Forbes

Abstract

IT will probably be considered necessary that Dr. Tyndall's pamphlet,* which first appeared as an article in the Contemporary Review, be answered at full length. That, however, cannot be decided for some time, as several of those concerned are abroad; but it may be well to let Dr. Tyndall know at once that there is no difficulty whatever in answering him, and that the answer will not lose force or point by a little delay. In the meantime I hope you will give me space to briefly notice a few of the more obvious inconsistencies of Dr. Tyndall's article.
