Abstract
BEFORE attempting to reply to some of Prof. Wiesner's criticism, it is a pleasure to record my appreciation of the courteous spirit in which his book is written, and the uniformly respectful tone which he employs towards my father. His criticism is so extensive that there is hardly a single point of any importance in “The Power of Movement in Plants” with which Prof. Wiesner agrees. Yet in spite of this far-reaching difference of opinion, he is good enough to express himself warmly as to the value which the book possesses.
