Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the First Book of Benson's Geometry, and Concerning the Circle: Showing the Decided Improvement Effected in the Science of Geometry
The importance of scientific education cannot be over-rated. For science is the key by which we unlock the mysteries of Nature, and behold the vast Universe in all its naked realities. It is more, it -is the great light by which we can penetrate the darkness of the far-distant Past, understand the Present, and fathom the eternity of the Future. Science teaches us the Wisdom and power of God. There is as much systematic skill displayed in the creation of an animalcule as there is in the construction of a planet. The vitality of the one is as grand as the existence of the other. The power which condenses the fluid is the same as that which gives form and shape to the universe. Science is the embodiment of wisdom and power. God is the great fountain-head of science.
Knowledge is progressive. When we compare the extent of the modern sciences with the scanty acquisitions of the ancients, the great improvements and advancement of modern researches as tound the mind more than all the astrological signs and magical sways of the oracles and other depositories of ancient lore; The mind of man was in that period of mental poverty hampered with materiality, and was filled with superstition and dread. Its move ments were attended with cautiousness and distrust. It was when facts had multiplied, and the genius of man awoke and discovered the orders of relations, the traces of resemblances, the' points of contrasts, and the lines of connections between them, that the mind claimed the rights of intellectuality. As ages follow ages, the field of the intellects become more and more extended, and the province of the mind grows richer and grander.
