Excerpt from A Dissertation on the Science of Method, or the Laws and Regulative Principles of Education
Whilst others, though originating in the Mind, constitute What are commonly called the great Laws of Nature, and form the groundwork of the. Mixed Sciences, such as those of Mechanics and Astronomy.
The second relation Is that of theory, in which the existing forms and qualities of objects, discovered by observation, suggest a given arrangement of them to the Mind, not merely for the purposes of more easy remembrance and communication; but for those of understanding, and sometimes of controlling them. The studies to which this class of relations is subservient, are more properly called Scientific Arts than Sciences. Medicine, Chemistry, and Physiology are examples of a Method founded on this second sort of relation, which, as well as the former, always supposes the necessary connection of cause and effect.
