TitleReferee's report by John Venn, on an unnamed paper by A L Haddon
Date11 March 1895
DescriptionRecommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. 'Perhaps I am prejudicial against him by the style of his letters to [Francis Galton], which are cantankerous, &, - considering whom he is addressing, - impertinent; but I really do not see that anything can be made of the [manuscript] without its being entirely & carefully re-written'. The author does not give any results of his experiments, and appears unfamiliar with physcho-physical laws. The author does not fully explain the new 'compulsory laws' which he has 'discovered'. 'Please don't divulge my name, or he will leave worrying Galton & fly at me'. Suggests leaving the diagrams at Burlington House or returning them to Herbert Rix.
