A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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. IV. Ch. ii. 1.
