I quite feel with the Superintendent of Colney Hatch Asylum, as he has said in his first paper, that a “dispassionate consideration of a subject” is the best course to pursue when seeking after “Truth.” Unhappily, stung and provoked by a reply, emanating from a gentleman who, though only an “assistant” physician, has evinced a fitness to attain a higher position, he has soon forgotten the position he started to uphold, and has launched out into an invective that is scarcely to be wished for in the pages of a Journal that lays claim to a scientific character.
