Quiconque a une trop haute idée de la force et de la justesse de ses raisonne-
mens pour se croire obligé de les soumettre à une expérience mille et mille fois
répétée, ne perfectionnera jamais la physiologie du cerveau,-GALL.

The first business of philosophy is to account for things as they are; and till
our theories will do this, they ought not to be the ground of any practical con-
clusion.-MALTHUS.
