 change of view, or referring in any way to his previous statement and 

 enumeration as erroneous, which he certainly should have done after so 

 direct a reference to the latter paper for explanations and proof of the 

 accuracy of views already expressed; no such reference being made, it 

 is a little surprising to find that instead of being confirmed they are 

 controverted.
