Alfred Russel Wallace : Alfred Wallace : A. R. Wallace :
Russel Wallace : Alfred Russell Wallace (sic)
The Radiometer and Its Lessons (S277: 1877)
Editor Charles H. Smith's Note: One of several letters printed under this title in the 15
November 1877 issue of Nature (this one, on page 44). It continues the feud between
William Carpenter and a number of scientists who supported spiritualism, including
Wallace. To link directly to this page, connect with:

The latter half of Dr. Carpenter's letter in last week's Nature (p. 26) consists of almost
verbatim extracts from his article in this month's Fraser. I beg to refer your readers to a reply to
Dr. Carpenter's attack, and a full exposure of his false accusations against Mr. Crookes and
myself, which will appear in the next issue of that magazine. They will then see who has been led
by "prepossession" to adopt "methods which are thoroughly unscientific," and whose are "the
statements which ought to be rejected as completely untrustworthy."
Alfred R. Wallace
