by the mind of man and made subservient to 

 the business of navigation; and who can de- 

 scribe the blessings which are secured to the 

 human race, by this one instance of adapta- 

 tion ? And yet, of what service would it be with- 

 out the science of mathematics ? The expansive 

 force of steam is now contributing immeasurably 

 to the comfort of man; and yet, of what use 

 could it be without the intricate science of 

 mechanics? Thus it is by the help of its own 

 pure abstractions, that the mind holds its sway 

 over the powers of Nature, and makes all the 

 bodies in space, and space itself, to minis.er to 

 his wishes. — Memoir of Fiske.
