Abstract
THERE are certain ambiguous terms, to the undiscriminating use of which some misunderstandings are due. One of these is the term “science,” which may be used either as synonymous with the unbiased and reverent-pursuit of truth by patient and accurate methods in all departments of knowledge; or as representing the generally accepted notions of naturalists at any one epoch, together with such positive and negative tendencies and extensions into more speculative regions as may be favoured by them. The distinction between these two dissimilar things is hardly sufficiently accentuated by the use of a large or a small initial letter for the word.
