ABSTRACT
Perhaps Dr Hobson has communicated to you the fact that the particular passages on wh. he bases what I regard as misinterpretations of my views, in his ‘Distribution’ in your series, were mostly expunged from my book; because I had found them to be capable of being taken-with an adequate disregard of the context-in senses in wh. I had not designed them. I sent him my last edition; and he wrote me a friendly and straightforward answer as to this matter, and similar comments of mine on his Social Problem. He is so very busy with other things that he may probably not have thought it necessary to write to you about this. There is an immense deal that is most fascinating about him; and he is certainly very able. But he is in a hurry: and so he disappoints me whenever the only good work is slow work.
