Scope and content

2 Brook Street - HH returns a proof sheet with his comments [to WW's Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Founded upon their History?]. He is glad WW uses Kant's definition of organization: 'It is decidedly the best we have, both in the great truth it conveys, and in its application to ulterior research'. However, HH differs with WW over what is meant by the idea of organization as conducive to the ideas of space, time and resemblance [see HH to WW, 26 March 1840].
