Abstract
“YOU will always find it easy to generalise so long as you are content not to inquire too closely into detail.” In these words, or words rather like them, Langley once expressed something which was very near to being the pivot of his intellectual outlook. The occasion was somewhere about the summer of 1900, when he was working at the properties of adrenalin, and discussing whether it could or could not be regarded as a general stimulant of the nerve-endings of the sympathetic system.
