Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life, Letters and Labours of Francis Galton, Vol. 2: Researches of Middle Life
If the reader should find Chapter XIII of this work more clumsily worded and carelessly written than those which precede it, he will under stand the loss which the bio rapher incurred by the death of his friend, W. Paton Ker, while the booi was passing throu h the press. Professor Ker's returned proofs. Duly loaded with admonition, ejaculation, and humorous chiding, were not only assurance that many of the author's blunders were detected but led him with delight on more than one occasion to unwonted realms, little sought by votaries of science. Let us rejoice that he has lived, And laugh like him to know in all our nerves Beauty, the spirit, scattering dust and turves.
