Extract

I have read with interest Mr. E. T. Dixon’s criticism of my paper on a “Partial Failure of Euclid (I. 4) in Time-Space Theory.” Mr. Dixon takes objection to this title, although, in his own words, he admits that: “Time-Space Theory may, in a limiting instance, be incompatible with Euclid’s (I. 4).”
