Excerpt from The Meteoritic Hypothesis: A Statement of the Results of a Spectroscopic Inquiry Into the Origin of Cosmical Systems It may be that I should have added a final chapter, giving an account of the Objections raised to the views here expressed. I have not done this because such Objections as have been formulated have dealt only with small details of no fundamental importance for the hypothesis as a whole; and because, So far, it has been difficult for any one to deal with the hypothesis in its generality, in consequence of the number of separate memoirs in which the results Obtained from time to time have been published. It is not in the nature of things that a large mass of detailed work and inquiry which has taken my assistants and myself three years to get together shall be found free from error, especially since observations made by many men in many lands, frequently under conditions of great difficulty, form part of the basis of the discussion. Nor, again, is it likely or even desirable that the general hypothesis, if it be found of any value at all, shall not be improved when fresh minds are brought to bear upon it. When the time arrives, I shall profit more than any one else by any valid objections that may be raised, and I Shall be careful to reply to or accept them.
