Extract

So great has been the achievement of science during the past century, that, were I to do no more than to recite the titles of its major discoveries, my allotted hour would scarce suffice. Indeed my hearers are well enough acquainted with the outline and general course of scientific discovery during the last hundred years: to epitomise it would be superfluous as well as arduous.
