Quiconque a une trop haute idée de la force et de la justesse de ses raisonne-
ens pour se croire obligé de les soumettre à une expérience mille et mille fois
répétée, ne perfectionnera jamais la physiologie du cerveau. — GALL.

our theories will do this, they ought not to be the ground of any practical
conclusion. MALTHUS.
