’s thesis for his doctorate at the University of Prague is written in the Czech language. He submitted to me the first draft of a free translation to obtain my opinion as to whether the line of thought, at which he had arrived independently, was sufficiently distinct from that which he had subsequently discovered in my Concept of Nature, to warrant its publication in English. I am decidedly of opinion that this is the case: in many respects our views are divergent, and where they agree Mr. Císař has emphasised considerations different from those on which I have founded my own arguments. But, apart from the minor consideration of its relation to my own work, the essay contains novel ideas which ought to be taken account of. . 1st August, 1923.
