 have succeeded in indicating to you the grounds upon which 

 I myself entertain the firm conviction that, as the human 

 brain exhibits in its geometrical proportions and mass a great 

 superiority over the brain of any animal, a superiority similar 

 to that presented by the human bones, joints, muscles, and 

 organs of sense, so, in like manner, it may even now be safely 

 assumed that under that cloud of ignorance which at present 

 conceals its inner mechanism, there exists a structural and 

 functional completeness which will be found to distinguish it 

 from every other form of brain.
