Excerpt from Prize Essay and Lectures: Delivered Before the American Institute of Instruction, at New Haven, Conn., August, 1853; Including the Journal of Proceedings, and a List of the Officers Science enter. We must limit ourselves to consider only Science in contradistinction from Philosophy. All the sciences have not advanced with equal pace. When Mathematics had reached comparative maturity, the others were found behind, Mechanics and Astronomy, however, taking the lead. Their fundamental conceptions and laws are now firmly established, while Physiology is yet in its infancy, and even Chemistry consists of scarcely more than slightly connected facts, with few wide generaliza tions. Of the pure sciences, Mathematics is the simplest, Physiology the most complex. Mechanics requires a knowledge of Mathematics, physics of mechanics; Chemistry depends on Physics, and no one unacquainted with Chemistry would pretend to the name of a physiologist. Mathematics, though it may be brilliantly pursued without the others, still is necessary for success in them. Mathematical science is of less importance as learning, - very real and valuable notwithstanding, than as constituting the most powerful instrument the human mind can employ in its research into the laws of natural phenomena.

From the Preface: "With the exception of the Poems in Prose this volume does not contain anything which the author ever contemplated reprinting. The Rise of Historical Criticism is interesting to admirers of his work, however, because it shows the development of his style and the wide intellectual range distinguishing the least borne of all the late Victorian writers, with the possible exception of Ruskin. It belongs to Wilde's Oxford days when he was the unsuccessful competitor for the Chancellor's English Essay Prize."
