Abstract
I HAVE reason to believe that the “grievous error” with which I charged “John O'Toole” in his reference to the clock is not meant by him to be his own view of the matter at all, but merely a legitimate deduction from the confused and inconsistent language of “the doctors”. Such an erroneous view on his part is, indeed, obviously out of harmony with the extensive knowledge of the subject of energy displayed by him in letters which, without doubt, will convince “the doctors” of the necessity of adopting consistent and strictly logical phraseology.
