Excerpt from The Storage of Electrical Energy: And Researches in the Effects Created by Currents Combining Quantity With High Tension
Authors are often blamed for not having understood the inference to be drawn from facts which they have observed, or for not having perceived the theoretic sequence, and the applications to which it may lead. We have sought to be free from this fault, which, besides, has not always foundation; for it is rare for anyone who has patiently studied nature, seeking new facts, not to also meditate upon their significance, and, as nature is seen complete in each one of her manifestations, It is difficult for the student to avoid being led to generalise the result of his observ arions. This tendency becomes, no doubt, another reef upon which one may strike; yet, science would not' lose, we think, by these.generalisations, or by the hypotheses to which they lead.
