During the last century Science has advanced with extra ordinary strides, and has assumed, in consequence, the utmost importance in the minds of men. In earlier times its progress was comparatively slow, and it is not difficult for the reader of History to trace the causes of non-development in the desola tion of barbaric warfare, the dark clouds of ignorance, and the curse of superstition, and religious persecution, which for ages hung over the whole of Europe. In these later and less troubled times, aided by the freedom now extended to thought and scientific discovery, various branches of Philosophy march on with surer and steadier footsteps.
