But I found it could not be done. In most instances there is something belonging to each of us; and even in those parts where your share is the largest, it would not be fair that you should be made responsible for any thing that is not entirely your own. Nor is it possible, in the case of aS cience, to remember distinctly how far one has been, in each instance, indebted to the suggestions of another. I nformation, as to matters of fact, may easily be referred in the mind to the person from whom we have derived it: but scientific truths, when thoroughly embraced, become much more a part of the mind, as it were; since they rest, not on the authority of the instructor, but on reasoning from data, which we ourselves furnish ;they are scions engrafted on the stems previously rooted in our own soil; and we are apt to confound them with its indi genous productions. You yourself also, I have reason to believe, have forgotten the greater part of the assistance you have afforded in the course of conversations on the sub ject; as I have found, more than once, that ideas which I distinctly remembered to have received from you, have not been recognized by you when read orS ee B.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book theorizes that despite the importance of learning, science, and reasoning in the pursuit of truth and fulfillment, knowledge can only be attained through beginning with and understanding foundational principles. The author posits that the principles offered in this book will serve the learner best when approached with the understanding that they are not meant to be the only or ultimate source of truth. Rather, as the author writes, âsuch is the nature of the fundamental principles of a scienceâ"they are so fully implied in the most evident and well-known truths, that the moment they are fully embraced, it becomes a difficulty to conceive that we could ever have been not aware of them.â In this way, the author encourages the reader to first understand the fundamentals of logic and from that foundation pursue knowledge with a critical eye toward the reasoning that leads to truth. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
