First, I think thus from the zeal and constancy of my mind, which has not waxed old in this design, nor, after so many years, grown cold and indifferent ; I remember that about forty years ago I composed a juvenile work about these things, which with great contrivance and a pompous title I called temporis partum maximum, or the most considerable birth of time ; Next, that on account of its usefulness, it may hope the Divine blessing." In stating the grounds of hope for future progress in the sc...iences, he says t : " Some hope may, we conceive, be ministered to men by our own example : and this we say, not for the sake of boasting, but because it is useful to be said. If any despond, let them look at me, a man among all others of my age most occupied with civil affairs, nor of very sound health, (which brings a great loss of time ;) also in this attempt the first explorer, following the footsteps of no man, nor communicating on these subjects with any mortal ; yet, having steadily entered upon the true road and made my mind submit to things themselves, one who has, in tKis undertaking, made, (as we think,) some progress." He then proceeds to speak of what may be done by the combined and more prosperous labours of others, in that strain of noble hope and con- fidence, which rises again and again, like a chorus, at intervals in every part of his writings.
