FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote U: Mr. Andrew Lang says: "Plenty of other words are formed on

the same analogy: the Greeks, in the verb 'to Medize,' set the example.

But we happen to have no use for 'scientist.'" It is not quite clear

whether Mr. Lang employs "have no use" in the American sense, expressing

sheer dislike, or in the literal and English sense. In the latter case I

can only say that he has been fortunate in never coming across

conjunctures in which "man of science" came in awkwardly and

inelegantly.]
