Pitlochry, N.B. - JDF 'heard that Huxley's [Thomas Huxley] attack on the Bishop of Oxford in re Darwin [Charles Darwin]', at the BAAS meeting in Oxford, 'was most indecent'. What is JDF to do regarding John Tyndall's recently published book on glaciers? JT has implied that JDF suppressed Rendu's glacier theory in a way which 'is so cunningly constructed to mislead that I fear it will be inevitable for me to notice it'.
