Note 230 — Chapter V
Reading edition
‘Fraser’s Magazine,’ Sept. 1868, p. 353. This article seems to have struck many persons, and has given rise to two remarkable essays and a rejoinder in the ‘Spectator,’ Oct. 3rd and 17th 1868. It has also been discussed in the ‘Q. Journal of Science,’ 1869, p. 152, and by Mr. Lawson Tait in the ‘Dublin Q. Journal of Medical Science,’ Feb. 1869, and by Mr. E. Ray Lankester in his ‘Comparative Longevity,’ 1870, p. 128. Similar views appeared previously in the ‘Australasian,’ July 13, 1867. I have borrowed ideas from several of these writers.
