"Not the same instant; not the same no, the doubloon is mine, Fate reserved the doubloon for me. I only; none of ye could have raised the White Whale first. There she blows! there she blows! there she blows! There again! there again!" he cried, in long-drawn, lingering, methodic tones, attuned to the gradual prolongings of the whale's visible jets. "He's going to sound! In stunsails!
To secure the needed supplies the commanders of the corps were ordered to seize in the country all the grain which could be found and at once to convert it into flour, with methodic activity. Napoleon himself superintended and hastened the work.
But that lesson, and others connected with it, was learnt, and learnt well, by hundreds. From the sad catastrophe I date the rise of that interest in Social Science; that desire for some nobler, more methodic, more permanent benevolence than that which stops at mere almsgiving and charity-schools.
The whole cannot be rightly conceived without some knowledge of the parts; and no part can be rightly conceived out of relation to the whole. To map out the Comparative Psychology of Man must also conduce to the more methodic carrying on of inquiries.

Before devoting years to some subject which fashion or fancy suggests, it is surely wise to weigh with great care the worth of the results, as compared with the worth of various alternative results which the same years might bring if otherwise applied. In education, then, this is the question of questions, which it is high time we discussed in some methodic way.
It may be you are more scientific than your rival; but he is more methodic than you, and for my part, I'm for method. "And then the abbé, addressing M. Le Roy, and pointing to Grimm with his finger: 'There, he said, 'is the nightingale, and you the cuckoo; and I am the ass, who decide in your favour. Good-night.
