A revolution is peaceably and progressively effecting itself in philosophy, the reverse of that to which Bacon has attached his name. That great man changed the method of the sciences from deductive to experimental, and it is now rapidly reverting from experimental to deductive. But the deductions which Bacon abolished were from premisses hastily snatched up, or arbitrarily assumed.
"I've looked it all over. You'll agree to it, or I'll declare the Croix d'Or unfair." He had arisen to his feet as if arbitrarily to end the argument. For a wonder, the veteran miner restrained himself, although there was a hard, glowing light in his eyes. "We won't stand for it," he said, restraining Dick with his elbow.
When the conditions of this treaty became known they inspired natural indignation in the minds of the people of the country which had thus been arbitrarily allotted, and the dying Charles of Spain was infuriated by this conspiracy to break up and divide his dominion.
Why may we not use that word which sounds the most pleasantly to the ear, and sits the most easily upon the heart? Thirdly, we do not arbitrarily and blindly reject the term punishment, “because it does not agree with our system.” We not only reject the term, but also the very idea and the thing for which it stands.
It presents the question whether discontented individuals, too few in numbers to control administration according to organic law in any case, can always, upon the pretences made in this case, or on any other pretences, or arbitrarily without any pretence, break up their Government, and thus practically put an end to free government upon the earth.
Now from this view, it is evident that the deeds or works of the Law are themselves null and dead, deriving their whole significance from their attachment or alligation to the rewards and punishments, even as this diversely shaped and ink colored paper has its value wholly from the words or meanings, which have been arbitrarily connected therewith; or as a ladder, or flight of stairs, of a provision-loft, or treasury.
Meanwhile, it is a wonderful evidence in favour of our hypothesis, that a scale formed so arbitrarily should coincide to such a nearness with our present knowledge of the succession of animal forms upon earth, and also that both of these series should harmonize so well with the view given by modern physiologists of the embryotic progress of one of the organs of the highest order of animals.
But even while she contemned his foolhardiness, she was woe for Lillian! to entertain a hope, even though the folly of illusion, as an oasis in her deep distress, a sentiment so revivifying, so potent, that it seemed to raise her as it were from the dead; and yet within the hour to be battered down by self-reproach, an anguish of anxiety, of torture, of suspense, for the fate of the man she had so arbitrarily called to her aid, to make the hope effective in the rescue of her child.
Besides, if we are obliged to go out of the constitution, to find the persons on whom the government rests, and those persons are arbitrarily prescribed by some other instrument, independent of the constitution, this contradiction would follow, viz., that the United States government would be a subordinate government a mere appendage to something else a tail to some other kite or rather a tail to a large number of kites at once instead of being, as it declares itself to be, the supreme government its constitution and laws being the supreme law of the land.
That done, when I get to the end of this cryptographic system, made up of the 234 which was arbitrarily selected, do not forget! the phrase which you recognize above is replaced by lxhihncuvktygclveplrihrkryupmpg. "And now, young man, just look at it, and do you not think it is very much like what is in the document? Well, what is the consequence?
