Two essays

Re: recent edits. I moved the bit about two essays because it doesn't make grammatical sense and I couldn't work out what was being said. If the text is to be reverted, could it also be made to make sense? It just says "Two essays <blah> and <blah>", with no text to clarify. And then in the next paragraph it starts "In this paper ...", but which paper? Before the "Two essays" bit there is mention of a paper - is it this one? And if not, it needs to be made clear what it's referring to. Cheers, --Plumbago 13:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers Duncharris - much better! Thanks, --Plumbago 15:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ophthalmology

There's an opportunity here for someone to do a section on Wells' research into ophthalmology. Macdonald-ross (talk) 10:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A year later, and there's still a need for an appreciation of his medical and ophthalmological work. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Darwin's view

I have given a bit more prominence to Darwin's view of him; obviously that's important. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
