No Wonder That My Remembrance Fails Me,

I Have Far More Confidence In The One Man Who Works Mentally And Bodily At A Matter Than In The Six Who Merely Talk About It.

What A Weak, Credulous, Incredulous, Unbelieving, Superstitious, Bold, Frightened, What A Ridiculous World Ours Is, As Far As Concerns The Mind Of Man. How Full Of Inconsistencies, Contradictions And Absurdities It Is. I Declare That Taking The Average Of Many Minds That Have Recently Come Before Me ... I Should Prefer The Obedience, Affections And Instinct Of A Dog Before It.

All Your Names I And My Friend Approve Of Or Nearly All As To Sense & Expression, But I Am Frightened By Their Length & Sound When Compounded. As You Will See I Have Taken Deoxide And Skaiode Because They Agree Best With My Natural Standard East And West. I Like Anode & Cathode Better As To Sound, But All To Whom I Have Shewn Them Have Supposed At First That By Anode I Meant No Way.

When The Contrary Magnetic Poles Were On The Same Side, There Was An Effect Produced On The Polarized Ray, And Thus Magnetic Force And Light Were Proved To Have Relation To Each Other.

I Will Simply Express My Strong Belief, That That Point Of Self-education Which Consists In Teaching The Mind To Resist Its Desires And Inclinations, Until They Are Proved To Be Right, Is The Most Important Of All, Not Only In Things Of Natural Philosophy, But In Every Department Of Dally Life.
