Excerpt from Insecta
This Guide is a series of replies to questions which have arisen in the minds of its authors while teaching. Many of the answers appear in the unsatisfactory form of quotations from various observers. These are often contradictory, and for this reason sometimes confusing to ordinary minds which demand certainty; and to teachers and scholars who are inclined to rely upon definitions. In the sciences of observation, except where experience has accumulated, certainty is un attainable and definitions often fuller of error than of truth.
Teacher and scholars should recognize that science is infinite, and demands from all its votaries a modest acknowledgment of this fact. They should work more as companions learning from each other's observa tions, and less as teacher and pupils, than in those studies which can be taught from written treatises.
The frequent reiteration of the statement, that a person does not know a certain fact or series of facts will cause no distrust in scholars who are trained to study the things themselves, and are thus led to realize the vast extent of the field of work in every organism.
