"Neither one life-time, nor two, nor half a dozen, will 

 suffice to clear away the astounding tangle of inherited 

 mythology ; of carefully maintained ignorance, that hugs 

 itself under the names of reverence ; of discreditable 

 prejudice ; not less than creditable atfection for old ideals, 

 and of rational alarm lest the wheat should be torn up 

 by the roots, along with the tares." — 'Apologetic Irenicon' 

 by Prof. Huxley, 'Fortnightly Review,' Nov. 1892.
