霍尔兹沃思，在他告诉我他正在准备我的前一封信的答辩中（自然，第十五卷。（第55页）会局限于为他以前提出的主张辩护，或者至多反驳我在回答这些主张时提出的证据。在这种情况下，我应该很乐意把他和我之间的争论留给公众来判断。不幸的是，他认为为了事业的缘故，有必要引入一些新的假设和指控，用一种相当有力的语言传达，所以出于对你读者的良好看法的考虑，我再次被迫侵犯他们和你的宽容。但在这样做的时候，我将尽可能简短，无论我的朋友可能已经超过了反驳的限度，不要效仿他的榜样。
I HAD hoped that Mr. Holdsworth, in the rejoinder which he told me he was preparing to my former letter (NATURE, vol. xv. p. 55) would have confined himself to defending the assertions he had before made, or at most to rebutting the evidence I had adduced in reply to them. In this case I should have gladly left the matters at issue between him and me to the judgment of the public. Unfortunately he has thought it needful for the sake of the cause lie adopts to introduce some new assumptions and charges, conveyed in language of a rather vigorous kind, so that out of regard to the good opinion of your readers, I am driven again to trespass on their forbearance and yours. But in doing this I shall try to be as brief as possible, and however much my friend may have exceeded the limits of a rejoinder, not to follow his example.
