Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Journal of Science and Arts, Vol. 41: October, 1841 My dear Sir - In the month of July last I had the pleasure to read, in the American Journal of Science, your letter in reply to one which I had addressed to you through the same channel. I should sooner have noticed this letter, but that meanwhile I have had to republish two of my text-books, and, besides, could not command, until lately, a complete copy of all those numbers of your researches to which you have referred. The tenor of the language with which your letter commences realizes the hope, which I cherished, that my strictures would call forth an amicable reply. Under these circumstances it would grieve me that you should consider any part of my language as charging you with inconsistency or self-contradiction, as if it could be my object to put you in the wrong, farther than might be necessary to establish my conception of the truth. Certainly it has been my wish never to go beyond the sentiment, "Amicus Plato, sed magis arnica veritas." I attach high importance to the facts established by your "Researches" which can only be appreciated sufficiently by those who have experienced the labor, corporeal and mental, which experimental investigations require. I am moreover grateful for the disposition to do me justice, manifested in those researches; yet it may not always be possible for me to display the deference, which I nevertheless entertain.
