66 TO THE PROFESSIONAL STUDENT. "The Thoughtful person considers carefully, and acts with reflection in regard to the circumstances of a case."-C. J. SMITH. "When I have a case before me, I can't help thinking of it beforehand, and perhaps feeling grieved too, afterward, if in any respect I might have conducted it better. If I am at dinner, the merriment or the philosophy of the table-talk suggests something, which I put away into a pigeon-hole in my mind for the case; and when I read, be it poetry or prose, the case hangs over the page like a magnet, and attracts to itself whatever seems to be pertinent or applicable. Success or failure leaves a bright or a dark hue on my mind, often for days."-HORACE MANN, Life, p. 74. 'There is a certain reaction against the conservatism of scientific men at the present time, and the uneducated man believes that chance and genius outweigh years of the careful accumulation and sifting of facts. It is, to say the least, improbable at this stage of the world's progress that an ignorant or a merely practical man should discover a new force in Nature. That dame certainly does not put a premium on ignorance."-The Nation, p. 396, No. 704, Dec. 26, 1878. "Another error is the over-early and peremptory reduction of knowledge into arts and methods; from which time commonly sciences receive small or no augmentation. But as young men, when they knit and shape perfectly, do seldom grow to a further stature; so knowledge, while it is in aphorisms and observations, it is in growth: but when it once is comprehended in exact methods, it may perchance be further polished and illustrated and accommodated for use and practice; but it increaseth no more in bulk and substance. 66 Another error which doth succeed that which we last mentioned, is, that after the distribution of particular arts and sciences, men have abandoned universality, or philosophia prima: which cannot but cease and stop all progression. For no perfect discovery can be made upon a flat or level: neither is it possible to discover the more remote and deeper parts of any science, if you stand but upon the level of the same science, and ascend not to a higher science."BACON, Advancement of Learning, pp. 39, 40, Ed. 1866, Oxford.
