Another cause Of our superiority over the
ancients is The possession of q better mode Of
phiiosophsing. Observation and experiment.
as a method of investigating nature were
almost unknown to them. Archimedes, and
one or two other philosophers connected
with the Alexsndrisn Academy, seemed to
have some perception of its importance, and
they were, accordingly, the most successful
investigators of nature. Besides what they
did little else was accomplished In physical
science. The ancient philosophy was more
disposed to speculate than to trace up the
effects to causes. He despised the philosophy
of the useful. He thought the study of ma
ture In her varied phenomena, was unwor-
thy Of his attention, merely to be applied TO
practical life. He would, like the modern
tranceudentalist on whom his mantle has
not unworthily fallen--soar into the heaven
