Keep.

Dr. W. Ogle has sent me, since the publication of the first edition of work, a translation of several curious passages from Hippocrates, clearly showing that he had formed a theory on generation, almost identical with that given in this chapter; but from the imperfect state of science at so remote period, the theory was not made to embrace any other phenomena. This theory was apparently held by most of the ancient doctors, but finally succumbed to the views of Aristotle.

[Variation, p. 370, n42: "Mr. G. H. Lewes ('Fortnightly Review,' Nov. 1, 1868, p. 506) remarks on the number of writers who have advanced nearly similar views. More than two thousand years ago Aristotle combated a view of this kind, which, as I hear from Dr. W. Ogle, was held by Hippocrates and others."]
