Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Unrecognized Laws of Nature: An Inquiry Into the Causes of Physical Phenomena, With Special Reference to Gravitation This once accomplished, our task became comparatively easy. Instead of pondering on terms and phrases, we set about the investigation of phenomena. We collected and collated facts, arranging them according to their Similarities, and regardless of conventional classifications. It was while engaged in this task, groping our way step by step from the simpler phenomena to their more complex manifestations, generalizing as we went along, and grouping all related phenomena under such generalizations, carefully verifying each step before taking the next, that we have reached a' generalization which at the time seemed to embrace all the phenomena of biology. It contained the promise of the light we were in search of; to wit, the principle which would make possible a uniform and harmonious explanation of all organic phenomena. However, before accepting it as a fact and allowing ourselves to make deductions from it, we thought it necessary to verify our induction (or 'law by every possible means. On the provisional assumption, there fore, that the said induction was true, we made sundry deductions, which were in many cases (to us at least) of a surprising character. But in every such case, where the conclusions were contrary to what we believed to be the fact, we were able, either by research or by experiment, to verify the conclusion.
