Excerpt from Conjectural Inquiry Into the Relative Influence of the Mind and Stomach: An Inaugural Dissertation

"Les conjectures," (says a celebrated writer,) "sont le degre de certitude le plus eloigne de l'evidence; mais ce n'est pas une raison pour les rejeter. C'est par elles que toutes les sciences et tous les arts ont commence: car nous entrevoyons la verite avant de la voir; et l'évidence ne vient souvent, qu' apres la tatonnement."

The best-attested systems of the day have had their origin in conjecture, which has been gradually strengthened by observation, and confirmed by successive experiment. Yet, speculation has its limits, beyond which the mind wanders in the region of shades, conjuring up forms of its own creation, and giving "to empty nothings a local habitation and a name."

Science, so far from considering imagination as, within certain limitations, a needful auxiliar, has viewed her agency as ever prejudicial. She has been beheld, with fearful jealousy, as a Circe, tending only to lure the reason astray - an Atalanta, for ever strewing her golden fruit in the pathway of the pursuer. Yet, were the dawn of many well-attested systems observed, we should find them ushered in amidst that twilight of the mind, when the mists of fancy, as yet, hover around the presentations of reason. Thus arose the philosophy of a Newton, and the incipient reasonings of a Colon.
