It is the process by which the mind is elevated from the particular to the general, from the known to the unknown, from phenomena to their laws, to those laws, whether of nature or of intelligence, which are, as it were, the elevated towers to which we can climb only by all the steps of observation and induction, but from the top of which we then command a vast horizon.

Pagina 152 - Lutzen, etc.; all are celebrated, because in all, men were not in question, but ideas; they interest humanity, because humanity comprehends marvellously well that it is she who is engaged on the field of battle. The hazards of war and of the diverse fortune of combats are spoken of without cessation; for my own part, I think there is very little chance in war: the dice are loaded, it seems, for I defy any one to cite me a single game lost by humanity In reality, there is not a single battle which...
