Dear Sir -

Re. possible beneficient effect of the stars upon life, refered to in your “Man’s Place in the Universe.”1

Reichenbach in his physico-physiological2 researches touches this subject, & as you don’t refer to him in your work, I thought perhaps you may [2] have overlooked him:

In my edition, 1851, translated by Dr Ashburner the references are as follow

Sun. 139,149, 4th treatise 227, 7th 263 Pages

Moon. 116, 139, 159,} 4th treatise 310 Pages

Stars. 219 — 7th treatise — Page

Yours sincerely, | J. D. Dawson.3 [signature]
