It Is The Function Of Science To Discover The Existence Of A General Reign Of Order In Nature And To Find The Causes Governing This Order. And This Refers In Equal Measure To The Relations Of Man - Social And Political - And To The Entire Universe As A Whole.

The Establishment Of A Law, Moreover, Does Not Take Place When The First Thought Of It Takes Form, Or Even When Its Significance Is Recognised, But Only When It Has Been Confirmed By The Results Of The Experiment.

Elements Which Are Similar As Regards Their Chemical Properties Have Atomic Weights Which Are Either Of Nearly The Same Value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) Or Which Increase Regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs).
