Excerpt from Examination of the Objections Made in Britain Against the Doctrines of Gall and Spurzheim Discussions, properly conducted, are of great utility. For that reason, I am' always ready to examine every objection against our doctrines. But I am sorry to oh serve, that scientific pursuits are so often degraded by selfish passions and the spirit of party - that literary publications are employed for the purposes of calumny and detraction - that invectives are used instead of ar guments - and that, by praising friends and blaming rivals, the progress of the arts and sciences, and the im provement of man, are mightily retarded. Such behaviour I will never imitate; nay, the illiberal and uncandid manner in which some British Reviews have taken up our investigations, has hitherto prevented me from attempting justification. As, however, many persons have no inclination, and a greater number no time for comparing the original works with the reports of the critics; and as in science the majority of readers believe, without examining for themselves, I cannot en tirely avoid controversy. We have never published a separate answer to single pamphlets, but merely consider ed the objections in our Lectures or in our Works, when treating of the respective objects. Our maxim is, never to fight with darkness, but to endeavour to bring light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
