我们刚刚收到的关于这个问题的论文的复印件（见下文），无疑会引起人们的极大兴趣，不仅因为它具有科学意义，而且因为它与印度饥荒这样一个非常实际的问题有关。最令人欣慰的是，这个问题已经被一个作为科学统计学家在每一页上都提供证据的人所接受。他始终没有把摆在他面前的事实歪曲到超出它们可能合理承受的程度，并且有一种技巧，把它们结合起来，以便尽可能地从它们与太阳黑子周期的关系中最终得出的结果中排除仅仅是偶然的东西。
THE paper on this subject, noted below, a copy of which we have just received, will no doubt awaken much interest, not only on account of its scientific bearings but also from its bearings on so very practical a subject as the famines of India. It is most gratifying to see that the subject has been taken up by one who gives evidence on every page of rare capacity as a scientific statistician. There is throughout an absence of straining the facts before him beyond what they may legitimately bear, and a skill in combining them so as to eliminate, as far as possible, what is merely accidental from the results ultimately arrived at in their relation to the sun-spot period.
