    Complains that articles in Belgian periodicals on geology and experimental physiology are 'mere food for babes, with not one new idea, good at most for a primer in a Board School'. What is presented to the Belgian public 'as something "new and strange"' is well known in England, even to 'a scholar at a working man's college'.
