HISTORY
OF THE
INDUCTIVE SCIENCES.
INTRODUCTION.
“A just story of learning, containing the antiquities and originals of knowledges, and their sects; their inventions, their diverse administrations and managings; their flourishings, their oppositions, decays, depressions, oblivions, removes; with the causes and occasions of them, and all other events concerning learning, throughout all ages of the world; I may truly affirm to be wanting.
“The use and end of which work I do not so much design for curiosity, or satisfaction of those that are the lovers of learning: but chiefly for a more serious and grave purpose; which is this, in few words—that it will make learned men more wise in the use and administration of learning.”
Bacon, Advancement of Learning, book ii.
