Item 102 - Letter from Henry Holland

3 pp

2 Brook Street - HH has received another of WW's proof sheets [The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Founded upon their History, 2 vols., 1840]: 'I still think there is a little too much of foreign cast given to the subject [Physiology]'. He agrees with WW that Muller's [Johann Muller] physiology is the best work, but in drawing exclusively from foreign writers WW will 'weaken the repute and claims of the English physiological school, especially with those who are fresh to the subject'.
