These well-known words of Shakespeare were repeated before a public audience, by the Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, V. S. Vesselowsky, while speaking upon the subject of the discovery I had made of a ''pedagenesis'' in insects, a discovery which for a long time the scientific world refused to believe in. I am now compelled to repeat the same words myself, in relation to certain facts about which I desire to tell you, and which facts, as a matter of course, will be likewise denied by the said scientific world and our skeptical public. Notwithstanding this I am decided to come out with them, excusing myself beforehand for the length of this letter, and begging you most earnestly to give it room in the columns of your Journal. | These well-known words of Shakespeare were repeated before a public audience, by the Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, V.
