“北不列颠评论”与物种起源
作者：
A. S. Davis
1867 年 6 月发表在《北不列颠评论》上的《物种起源》一文的作者，已在你们 11 月 30 日的期刊上纠正了该文章某段中出现的一个不重要的错误。然而，在我看来，同一段中有一个更严重的错误，这使他的算术计算自始至终都无效，并导致他得出错误的结论。
THE writer of the article on the “Origin of Species,” which was published in the North British Review for June 1867, has corrected in your periodical for November 30 an unimportant error which occurs in a certain paragraph of that article. There is, however, it appears to me, a much more serious error in the same paragraph, which vitiates his arithmetical calculations throughout, and leads him to an erroneous conclusion.
