"Der Kreislauf

submitted
on
February
28
as
follows: "Die Darle-
gungen
des Verfassers
zeugen von
Phantasie,
aber auch
von
einem seltenen
Mangel an geschultem
Denken. Die Ele-
mente
der Mechanik hat
er
nicht
begriffen,
und doch
unter-
nimmt
er
eine
Erklärung
der astronomischen
Bewegungen,
Ebbe und Flut etc. Die Arbeit ist
psychologisch
nicht unin-
teressant,
wissenschaftlich aber
ganz
wertlos." Provenance:
