Abstract
I SHOULD like to call the attention of your readers to what appears an important matter in connection with the above subject, which has attracted considerable attention of late, and which has also its physical bearings. In a recent lecture by Prof. Tyndall, the aspect of compensation and punishment for actions was treated of in connection with the question of freewill, and I think that it cannot but have struck many that the conclusions arrived at as regards this special point were less satisfactory or complete than the otherwise able reasoning of the lecture. What I should like to submit is that this special point is entirely independent of any question of free-will.
