Abstract
A CORRESPONDENCE between two men of such astronomical mental calibre as Jeans and Eddington, firing long–range shots at each other, should, I suppose, be read in silence and with respect by the ordinary man in the street. It is indeed very enjoyable in these days to have such a discussion, but first of all we must thank Jeans for the very human confession that he had been “re–reading” Eddington's book. It is comforting to think it was not just our fault we did not get it all the first time.
