"If no human being had dared to hazard the expression of an original thought, then nothing in the realms of Science would have been discovered by speech nor penned in books." Thus spoke that man of thought, Bovee Dodd. Then a dreary, barren waste, arapped in solilude and night, would have reigned, and those pretended Friends of Science who oppose everything that may appear to them both new and strange, would have been destitute of that knowledge they obtained from books; and not daring to think for themselves, they would have remained in mental night, and all would have been mystery.
