Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of George John Romanes, M.A., LL. D., F. R. S: Late Honorary Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge
IN sending out this Fourth Edition of my husband's Life, I cannot but repeat my acknowledgment of the extreme kindness with which it has been received. And I think it is also due to his memory to say a word again in view of various statements that have been made in America and elsewhere, to the effect that his mental vigour and powers were impaired before his death. These statements are absolutely untrue.
I can best refute them by calling attention to the obituary notice written by Professor Burdon Sanderson for the Royal Society.
In this paper it is said: 'up to the end he (romanes) preserved not only his mental vigour.
