A letter to Edinburgh professors by a medical student. (J.S.H.) London.

1906. Life and mechanism. London. 1906.

MS of an address entitled The mechanicalistic and vitalistic theories of
life – presented to the British Association, Nottingham, September 15, 1893. [including fragments]

MS of an address entitled The supposed physical basis of life –
presented to the Exeter College Dialectical Society, June 13, 1912. Further remarks on his views of the impossibility of explaining living organisms solely in terms of physics and chemistry.

MS of an address entitled Vitalism, presented to the Manchester
University Pathological Society, October 11, 1911. Haldane summarizes his position thus:
a. Biology has made no progress whatever in the direction of a physicochemical theory of life.
b. From the nature of the facts to be explained in connection with life a physico-chemical explanation of them is inconceivable.
c. The conception of the living organism as such is the root-conception on which alone biology as a science can be based. This conception is not reducible to anything simpler, and apart from it the facts of biology are a mere chaos.

MS of The aims of biology – an address to “the Club.” “I wish to ... state
broadly ... what the real ground conceptions of Biology appear to me to be, and what the reasons are which make it very difficult to accept the proposition that the ultimate aim of Biology is to furnish physical and chemical explanations of the phenomena of life.'' incomplete.

A report. The “Members of the Tuberculosis Conference have duly
considered and examined into the subject of Tuberculosis in the Royal Navy and have the honour to submit the following report. "

Typed letter with handwritten postscript, signed. 2p. Names: Barcroft, Edkins, Bayliss.
