Scientific paper

ALTHOUGH NATURE is scarcely the proper place for a disquisition on a Latin quotation, perhaps you will admit of a further correction of ``W. T.'s'' correction (p. 461) of the lines quoted by ``W. E. P.'' Numen is, I believe, never used except in the sense of good luck, being derived from nuo, and signifying the nodding approval of the gods; hence ``Nullum numen habes, si sit prudentia,'' would mean just the opposite to the obvious sense of the passage. The best editions give, in both the satires where the line occurs, ``Nullum numen abest,'' and this makes sense. Except for this word, ``W. T.'s'' version is correct.
