עמוד 83 - I hold every man a debtor to his profession; from the which, as men of course do seek to receive countenance and profit, so ought they of duty to endeavor themselves, by way of amends, to be a help and ornament thereunto.
עמוד 33 - Discoveries, but to penetrate still further, and not to overcome his adversaries in disputes but nature by labour, not in short to give elegant and specious opinions, but to know to a Certainty and Demonstration, let him, as a true son of Science (if such be his wish), join with us ; that when he has left the antechambers of Nature trodden by the multitude, an entrance may at last be discovered to her inner apartments.
עמוד 8 - a complement of cognitions, having in point of form the character of logical perfection, and in point of matter the character of real truth.
עמוד 67 - I ascribe no intention to God, for I mistrust the feeble powers of my reason. I observe facts merely, and go no further. I only pretend to the character of the historian of what is."

עמוד 85 - Roman, that, if they chance at any time to be without company, they are like a becalmed ship ; they never move but by the wind of other men's breath, and have no oars of their own to steer withal.
עמוד 81 - ... have often thought, that provided with a thorough insight into the history of any disease whatsoever, I could invariably apply an equivalent remedy; a clear path being thus marked out for me by the different phenomena of the complaint. These phenomena, if carefully collated with each other, lead us, as it were, by the hand to those palpable indications of treatment which are drawn, not from the hallucinations of our fancy, but from the innermost penetralia of Nature.
עמוד 93 - We are kept in remembrance that there is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in our philosophy.
עמוד 33 - It is not obvious, or to be understood in a cursory view, nor does it flatter the mind in its preconceived notions, nor will it descend to the level of the generality of mankind unless by its advantages and effects. Let there exist, then (and may it be of advantage to both), two sources, and two distributions of learning, and in like manner two tribes, and as it were kindred families of contetnplators or philosophers, without any hostility or alienation between them; but rather allied and united...
