Abstract
ALL who are engaged in extending the boundaries of natural knowledge will be interested in the remarkable letter of Prof. Ramsay, in last week's NATURE, on the moral claims of original discoverers in relation to the work of subsequent investigators in the same field of research. As one whose experience is of sufficient duration to stand in both these relations, I should like to point out several objections to the position assumed by Prof. Ramsay on this question.
