tlic i)niicii)lcs of II sound jjliilosopliy, was, after 

 all, notliiiig but an error. Since it was so, how- 

 ever, I determined to establish the fact beyond 

 the power of cavil ; and pf-oceeded with great 

 cure to separate the stalks of chess from the rye 

 in order to trace them to the very junction, in- 

 tending to exhibit them in demonstration of my 

 new opinion ; but I soon discovered that they 

 were entirely distinct plants, originating from dif- 

 ferent seeds. The event produced a lasting inj- 

 {trcssion on my nnnd ; and I rejoiced that 1 had, 

 by a little perseverance, avoided an erroneous con- 

 clusion, to which I should certainly have arrived, 

 liad I not persisted in the rxainination after the 

 icvidence before me seemed to render further exami- 

 aiation useless and unnecessarv.
