description: Excerpt from The New KnowledgeTheir work consists of facts experimentally obtained and theories based upon these facts. Their statements of fact may, emphatically, be believed, and I trust that I have not tri?ed with them. Their theories are as they would have them Â acceptable so long as they explain the phenomena Observed. As these theories are presented in this book, they cannot be said to rest upon any definite concensus Of scientific opinion. The science is too new. Each theory is, rather, the work Of some one man who is entitled to speak as the authority paramount on that particular sub ject. I have taken them as so many defensible theses and have presented them as clearly and forcibly as I might.
