Excerpt from The Mechanic's Calculator: Comprehending Principles, Rules, and Tables in the Various Departments of Mathematics and Machanics
In the examination of facts, it is to be observed, that we must depend on the information derived through the medium of the five senses, that is, the senses of seeing - hearing - touching - tasting - and smelling; - for it is only by bodies affecting these organs that the properties of matter become known to us and all that the mind does is to compare and classify the information thus derived.
