GHL to Peter Guthrie Tait, London, 16 April [1876]
MS: Miss M. Tait.
The Priory, | 21. North Bank, | Regents Park.
Easter Sunday.
My dear Sir
I have just finished the second reading of your Advances in Science, 330 and although as an outsider my opinion is not worth twopence, you may bear to be told that this outsider found the book instructive and energetic. It is indeed alive with energy -- kinetic and polemic -- and in every chapter the rush drags me along, pushes me on, and sometimes knocks me aside. I only saw, I did not read. Have you by chance seen M'f6llner's Cometenlehre, and the drastic passages, about die Phrase in Science?
I don't mean you to answer this question.
Ever yours truly
G. H. Lewes.
Prof. P. G. Tait
