We, in later times, have learnedsomewhat of Nature, and partly obey her. Because of this partialimprovement of our natural knowledge and of that fractional obedience, we have no plague; because that knowledge is still very imperfect andthat obedience yet incomplete, typhus is our companion and cholera ourvisitor. But it is not presumptuous to express the belief that, whenour knowledge is more complete and our obedience the expression of ourknowledge, London will count her centuries of freedom f...rom typhusand cholera, as she now gratefully reckons her two hundred years ofignorance of that plague which swooped upon her thrice in the first halfof the seventeenth century.
Surely there is nothing in these explanations which is not fully borneout by the facts? Surely, the principles involved in them are nowadmitted among the fixed beliefs of all thinking men? Surely, it is truethat our countrymen are less subject to fire, famine, pestilence, and all the evils which result from a want of command over and dueanticipation of the course of Nature, than were the countrymen ofMilton; and health, wealth, and well-being are more abundant with usthan with them?
