Excerpt from Ideality in the Physical Sciences
The lectures, as originally delivered, were profusely illustrated by diagrams and familiar explanations at the blackboard. The words used in these parts of the lectures were extemporary; and the manuscript is continuous and complete Without them. Nor do I greatly regret my inability to add to the scientific and philosophical discussions here presented matters which, though serviceable in the lecture-room, might have appeared as intrusions in the printed form.

Excerpt from Ideality in the Physical Sciences
IN the winter of 1877-7 8, Mr. Augustus Lowell proposed to my father to deliver a course of lectures at the Lowell Institute in Boston, and suggested his faking the occasion to express his views on the true attitude of science towards religion, and to discuss other subjects of wide interest, falling within the range of his lifelong thought. My father was ready sensible of the weakening and dispiriting influ ence of ill-health. He was little accustomed to write out his public addresses, or even his communications to scientific societies, and be greatly shrank from that labor; while in this instance he was unwilling to trust, in any considerable degree, to the utterance of the moment. But he could not long hesitate to ao cept the opportunity his last, as he expected it to be, and as indeed it was of appearing before the general public, to advocate that high conception of the functions of science which he always earnestlyiv preface.
