TO MR. H. JAMYN BROOKE1
Old Orchard, Broadstone, Wimborne.2 December 2, 1910.
Dear Sir, — Your "monistic" system3 is to me a system of mere contradictory words. You begin with three things — then you say they are correlated with one substance — co-extensive with the universe. This you cannot possibly know, and it is about as intelligible and as likely to be true as the Athanasian Creed!4 — Yours truly, | ALFRED R. WALLACE.
