William Whewell Quotes

Because If The Rule Prevails, It Includes All Cases; And Will Determine Them All, If We Can Only Calculate Its Real Consequences. Hence It Will Predict The Results Of New Combinations, As Well As Explain The Appearances Which Have Occurred In Old Ones. And That It Does This With Certainty And Correctness, Is One Mode In Which The Hypothesis Is To Be Verified As Right And Useful.
