But science also trains the growing faculties, for science proposes to itself truth as its only object, and it presents the most varied, and at the same time the most splendid examples of the different mental processes which lead to the attainment of truth, and which make up what we call reasoning. In science error is always possible, often close at hand; and the constant necessity for being on our guard against it is one im- portant part of the education which science supplies. But in science ...sophistry is impossible; science knows no love of para- dox; science has no skill to make the worse appear the better reason; science visits with a not long deferred exposure all our fondness for preconceived opinions, all our partiality for views which we have ourselves maintained; and thus teaches the two best lessons that can well be taught — on the one hand, the love of truth; and on the other, sobriety and watchfulness in the use of the understanding." The London Mathematical Society was founded in 1865.
