THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
upon me, refuted his incorrect assertions, 
shown that he had no opinion of his 
own to which I could be converted, and 
answered his questions and his appeal to 
his entire satisfaction ; and I do hope 
that his ungentlemanly letter will act as 
a warning to others to be careful when 
they ascribe motives to their friends which 
could never enter the brain of men 
“ Whose minds do always rise 
Above the value of their flies," 
and never, under any circumstances, 
misquote newspaper reports for the sake 
of obtaining a temporary triumph over 
their fellow-labourers; for depend upon 
it if they do they will lose the respect of 
all good men. 
Legitimate discussion will elevate both 
disputants, but pulling your friends down 
will never raise you one step up the 
ladder of Science. 
Faithfully yours, 
C. S. Geegson.
