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.
