Síđa 312 - History warns us, however, that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as Heresies and to end as superstitions...

Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life?
Síđa 14 - The language of the monks and schoolmen seemed little better than gibberish to scholars fresh from Virgil and Cicero, and the study of Latin was placed upon a new foundation.
