Yesterday I received a letter from the Frenchman who translated my book on 'Mental Evolution,' asking me to let him know whether he might apply for the translation of the biography. His name is De Varigny, and he does some original work in vertebrate physiology. I think he has done my book very well.
Yours ever sincerely,
G. J. Romanes.
Can you suggest a subject for a Rede lecture which I have to give in May?
