This tendency affects not only those who take only a spasmodic interest in science, but perhaps even to a higher degree the professional investigator. For every hundred learned men who are deeply interested in an experiment which can only be shewn with the most delicate and costly apparatus, perhaps one troubles to think why the earth is a magnet or charged with negative electricity, and as regards the mystery of gravitation, we have long given it up as a hopeless subject to worry about. It is ...not that we should not like to know the causes of all these things, but we are so accustomed to meet the Observational Sciences 1 1 9 questions which are daily before us, that they cease to assert that spell of curiosity which is the necessary antecedent to their being successfully attacked. I propose to-day to bring to your notice a few subjects which have suffered on account of the contempt, — neglect would perhaps be a more polite word, — which is proverbially bred by familiarity. The progress of knowledge which I described in the three previous lectures was made by means of what is called the experimental method of investigation.
