    I / “ We indulge in a grand fallacy of the senses when we make the measure and rule of things correspond to Man and not to the Universe.”—Lord Bacon. “ . . . Where natural logic prevails not, artificial too often faileth. Where nature fills the sails the vessel goes smoothly on ; and when judgment is the pilot, the insurance need not be high. When industry builds upon nature we may expect pyramids, where that foundation is wanting the structure must be low. They do most by books who could do much without them ; and he that chiefly owes himself unto himself is the substantial man.”—Sir Thomas Browne.
