The mere accumulation of facts does not constitute a science, but a successful classification of the facts recognizes the law underlying them and is, in so far, scientific. In fact, classification is always the initial step in the establishment of a science, and the more recondite workings of the force over which it presides are discovered later.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
