Description

Not recommended for publication in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society'. The paper is 'too crude and speculative'. The author mentions proof but does not present it, and does not take the work of others into account. Refers to work of Adriaan Isebree Moens. Considers the paper more suited to a medical journal.
