This course has been pursued by some OF the
most eminent British savants in regard 30 tho
phenomena in question. Among those who have
made them the subject Of investigation, Sir David
Brewster Reichenbach, and Prof Gregory arc

of the other distinguished savants have thrown

their example. We only hope that il will
be followed in giving fair play to novel
claims. Not that the present wsrk stands in
