Abstract
I HAD hoped that my previous letter might have closed this correspondence, but Mr. Poulton's reply suggests to me the propriety of making one additional remark. This is, that while writing the sentence in the Contemporary Review to which he has taken exception, it never occurred to me that anyone would gather from it that I intended to disparage the work of an eminent man, who happens to be also a personal friend. But, as this appears to be the impression conveyed to Mr. Poulton, I should not like to allow his statement of it to pass unnoticed. As a matter of fact, no one can appreciate more thoroughly than I do the extensive knowledge, the clearness of thought, and the great powers of original research which are now being so conspicuously displayed by Prof. Weismann.
