1 ... From the Seventh Book, which is th<? longest and most valuable, is derived a large part of our knowledge of 

 Greek geometry. Many of the writings here analysed are no longer extant, and it is on the indications (e. g. Euclid's 

 Porism*) which Pappus gives of the object or the contents of them that the geometers of the 17th and 18th Centuries 

 relied for their restorations of these writings. . . . Several of the books contain important theorems, the discovery of 

 which is probably due to Pappus himself. One of these has been long associated with the name of Guldinus (1577-1643). 

 Some others have received a brilliant development from the mathematicians of modern times.'

' Paracelsus was the man who, in the first half of the XVI. century, opened out new paths for chemistry and medicine 

 by uniting them both. To him is undoubtedly due the merit of freeing chemistry from the restraining fetters of alchemy, 

 by a clear definition of scientific aims. He taught that 'the object of chemistry is not to make gold, but to prepare 

 medicines.' 'Prof. E. v. Meyer.
