Excerpt from The Origin of Life: Being an Account of Experiments With Certain Superheated Saline Solutions in Hermetically Sealed Vessels

IN this volume a memoir is reproduced on The Origin of Life Question that was submitted early in October, 1910, to the Royal Society, and which, as I was informed after an interval Of a few weeks, was not considered suitable for acceptance by the Society.

I desire, therefore, to make a few Observations in the first place in reference to the subject of the paper, and, secondly, in regard to the action of the Society, and the probable causes that have led to such action.
