These men no doubt did much to popularise the thoughts of their master, and in this way largely influenced the later development of philosophy; but they had nothing substantial to add, and so the stern pruning-hook of time has cut them off from remembrance. Aristotle was the son of a Greek physician, member of the colony of Stagira in Thrace.
With small imaginative and suggestive powers, and therefore nothing approaching to genius, she could see clearly what she did see, and give a clear expression to what she had to say.

I have been particularly struck with your remarks on geological distribution in Celebes. And now I am going to ask a question which you will not like. How does your Journal get on?
