“The woman movement is one which is uniting by co-operating influences, all the antagonisms that are warring on the family state. Spiritualism, free love, free divorce, the vicious indulgences consequent on unregulated civilization, the worldliness which tempts men and women to avoid large families, often by sinful methods, thus making the ignorant masses the chief supply of the future ruling majorities; and most powerful of all, the feeble constitution and poor health of women, causing them to dread maternity as--what it is fast becoming--an accumulation of mental and bodily tortures.” MenStatesPoorPowerfulFamilyInfluenceMovementBecomingCivilizationMassMen And WomenConstitutionMethodMajorityDivorceMotherhoodIgnorantChiefsTortureMost PowerfulDreadViciousRulingIndulgenceAccumulationSpiritualismAntagonismUnitingFree LoveWorldlinessMaternityLarge FamilyPoor HealthIgnorant Masses Book:Woman Suffrage and Woman's Profession Source: Woman Suffrage and Woman's Profession

“Investigation is a subtle process, requiring patience and fine analytical ability, as well as a skill in cultivating one's sources.

“For there is a great difference in delivery of the mathematics , which are the most abstracted of knowledges, and policy , which is the most immersed. And howsoever contention hath been moved , touching a uniformity of method in multiformity of matter, yet we see how that opinion, besides the weakness of it, hath been of ill desert towards learning, as that which taketh the way to reduce learning to certain empty and barren generalities; being but the very husks and shells of sciences, all the kernel being forced out and expulsed with the torture and press of the method.” WayMatterScienceCertainDifferencesOpinionKnowledgeLearningSubjectsPolicyDiversityWeaknessEmptyMathematicsMethodPressesIllDesertTortureAbstractShellsDeliveryBarrenGeneralitiesKernel Author:Francis Bacon
