The opinion of the great body of the reading public is very materially influenced even by the unsupported assertions of those who assume a right to criticise.
Page 31 - One science only will one genius fit ; So vast is art, so narrow human wit : Not only bounded to peculiar arts, But oft in those confined to single parts.
Page 57 - Je ne suis pas si convaincu de notre ignorance par les choses qui sont, et dont la raison nous est inconnue, que par celles qui ne sont point, et dont nous trouvons la raison. Cela veut dire que non seulement nous n'avons pas les principes qui mènent au vrai, mais que nous en avons d'autres qui s'accommodent très bien avec le faux.
