Excerpt from First Principles of Chemistry: For the Use of Colleges and Schools
The ancient philosophy abounded in plausible arguments regarding those natural phenomena which could not fail to arrest the attention of an intelligent people but its reason ings were based on an d priort' assumption of a cause, and not upon an inductive inquiry after facts and their connec tions. It failed to apply itself to the careful collection and study of facts in order to science. Facts in nature are the expression of the Divine will in the government of the phy sical world. The universe of matter is made up of facts, which, Observed, traced out, and arranged, lead us to the knowledge of certain laws and forces which proceed directly from the mind of God. These are the laws of nature science is but the exposition of them and of science based upon such grounds, the ancient philosophy was completely ignorant.
