Abstract
I SHOULD like to direct the attention of Mr. Woolhouse (NATURE, January 20) to the little book “Avogadro and Dalton, the Standing in Chemistry of their Hypotheses” (Edinburgh: W. F. Clay, 1904), in which Dr. Meldrum discusses with great force and discrimination the exact position which should be given to Avogadro's hypothesis. Dr. Meldrum also deals faithfully with those who have made light use of the word “law”.
