Where experiments of this kind are judiciously collected and compared, we may hope to establish on them a science, which will not be inferior in certainty, and will be much superior in utility to any other of human comprehension.
Страница 325 - What magic is there in the pronoun "my," that should justify us in overturning the decisions of impartial truth?
