Parkstone, Dorest;
December 8th, 1894.
Dear Sir
I thought the very useful American term 'Scientist' was now adopted, and I see Dr Armstrong used it at the Chemical Society, yesterday. As we have Biologist, Zoologist, Geologist, Botanist, Chemist, Physicist, Physiologist and Specialist, why should we not use 'Scientist'? It seems to me that it has, as the Americans say, 'come to stay,' and it is too late in the day to object to it.
