Portée et contenu

Lincoln - Thanks WW for his kindness towards his Botanical Papers and would like them returned. EB has read WW's new work [probably The History of the Inductive Sciences, from the Earliest to the Present Times, 3 vols., 1837]: 'there is a quiet beneficent tone about it which I like much'. EB has a problem with WW's philosophy of induction in classification: 'What Characters are to be deemed Physiological? No doubt large natural assemblages will be found to have important unities of structure, and the larger the more important - but this importance cannot be estimated a priori - Why is not the Root important?'
