 "In all that has directly ope- 

 rated on the extension of the natural 

 sciences, and on their establish- 

 ment on a mathematical basis, and 

 by the calling forth of phenomena 

 by the process of experiment, Ro- 

 ger Bacon, the contemporary of 

 Albertus of Bollstadt, may be re- 

 garded as the most important and 

 influential man of the middle 

 ages." Vol. II., 619.

 u In all that relates immediately 

 to the extension of the natural

 foundation, and to the intentional

 way of experiment, Albert von 

 Bollstadt or Albertus Magnus, the 

 cotemporaryof Roger Bacon, holds 

 the foremost place in the middle 

 ages." Vol. II., 247— 8.
