"The scientific spirit has cast out the demons and 

 presented us with Nature, clothed in her right mind and 

 living under the reign of law. It has given us for the 

 sorceries of the alchemist the beautiful laws of chemistry; 

 for the dreams of the astrologer, the sublime truths of 

 astronomy; for the wild visions of cosmogony the monu- 

 mental records of geology; for the anarchy of diabolism, 

 the laws of God/' 



JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD.
