exposed to air from a great height; or from some very quiet cellar; you
will often not find a single trace of life。

So that M。 Pasteur arrived at last at the clear and definite result;
that all these appearances are like the case of the worms in the piece
of meat; which was refuted by Redi; simply germs carried by the air and
deposited in the liquids in which they afterwards appear。  For my own
part; I conceive that; with the particulars of M。 Pasteur's experiments
before us; we cannot fail to arrive at his conclusions; and that the
doctrine of spontaneous generation has received a final 'coup de
grace'。

You; of course; understand that all this in no way interferes with the
'possibility' of the fabrication of organic matters by the direct
method to which I have referred; remote as that possibility may be。


    'Footnote' 1 Those who wish to study fully the doctrines of
    which I have endeavoured to give some rough and ready
    illustrations; must read Mr。 John Stuart Mill's 'System of
    Logic'。
