Knowledge Advances By Steps, And

The Sweeter Sound Of Woman's Praise.

A Kind Of Semi-solomon, Half-knowing Everything, From The Cedar To The Hyssop.

A Perfect Historian Must Possess An Imagination Sufficiently Powerful To Make His Narrative Affecting And Picturesque; Yet He Must Control It So Absolutely As To Content Himself With The Materials Which He Finds, And To Refrain From Supplying Deficiencies By Additions Of His Own. He Must Be A Profound And Ingenious Reasoner; Yet He Must Possess Sufficient Self-command To Abstain From Casting His Facts In The Mould Of His Hypothesis.

Generalization Is Necessary To The Advancement Of Knowledge; But Particularity Is Indispensable To The Creations Of The Imagination.

Nothing Is So Useless As A General Maxim.
