Professor Clifford, in his most interesting lecture on “The First and Last Catastrophe” (Fortnightly Review, April 1875, p. 480, reprint by the Sunday Lecture Society, p. 24), objects that I have erroneously substituted “known laws of nature” for “known laws of conduction of heat.” I quite admit the error, without admitting all the conclusions which Professor Clifford proceeds to draw; but I maintain the paragraph unchanged, in order that it may be discussed in the Preface.
