Excerpt from Scientific Romances: First Series There are two ways of passing beyond the domain of practical certainty, and of looking into the vast range of possibility. One is by asking, What is knowledge? What constitutes experience If we adopt this course we are plunged into a sea of speculation. Were it not that the highest faculties of the mind find therein so ample a range, we should return to the solid ground of facts, with simply a feeling of relief at escaping from so great a confusion and contradictoriness.

Excerpt from Science or Romance? IN the Introduction to his History of England, Dr. Lingard wrote as follows: It is long Since I dis claimed any pretensions to that which has been called the philosophy of history, but might with more propriety be termed the philosophy of romance. Novelists, speculatists, and philosophists, always assume the privilege of being acquainted with the secret motives Of those whose conduct and Character they describe; but writers Of history know nothing more respecting motives than the little which their authorities have disclosed, or the facts necessarily suggest. It seems to be time that a similar canon should be applied to those works which deal with Natural History, and in the following papers a slight attempt in that direction is made, the key-note of them all being a contention that much which is presented to us under this title is Romance rather than Science - philosophism, not philosophy.

Excerpt from A Journey in Other Worlds: A Romance of the Future The protracted struggle between science and the classics appears to be drawing to a close, with victory about to perch on the banner of science, as a perusal of almost any university or college catalogue shows. While a limited knowledge of both Greek and Latin is important for the correct use of our own language, the amount till recently required, in my judgment, has been absurdly out of proportion to the intrinsic value of these branches, or perhaps more correctly roots, of study. The classics have been thoroughly and painfully threshed out, and it seems impossible that anything new can be unearthed. We may equal the performances of the past, but there is no oppor tunity to surpass them or produce anything original. Even the much-vaunted mental training argument.

Excerpt from The Romance of the Earth In calling this little reading book a romance it must not be supposed that facts are ignored. I have used all the facts I found available. Most of the statements are the accepted truths, many of them the commonplaces, of science. Where I could not obtain facts, I have permitted myself to speculate, to make deductions from the accepted laws of nature. When I have thus soared on the wings of the imagi nation I hope the flight has not been unscientific, nor the views presented unsound. When I have used those Wings I have kept well Within sight of the reader; he can see every movement that has led me to these conclusions. Sometimes where no path existed I have not dared to soar; I have merely roughed out tracks that I hope will be straightened and metalled and become paths of progress. Where two opposing schools have suggested opposite ways I have not hesitated to use the clue given me by codified science, and have followed fearlessly where the accepted laws of matter and energy have led me.

Excerpt from Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions If my poor Flatland friend retained the vigour of mind which he enjoyed when he began to compose these Memoirs, I should not now need to represent him in this Preface, in which he desires, firstly, to return his thanks to his readers and critics in Spaceland, whose appreciation has, with unexpected celerity, required a second edition of his work; secondly, to apologize for certain errors and misprints (for which, however, he is not entirely responsible); and, thirdly, to explain one or two misconceptions. But he is not the Square he once was. Years of imprisonment, and the still heavier burden of general incredulity and mockery, have combined with the natural decay of old age to erase from his mind many of the thoughts and nations, and much also of the terminology, which he acquired during his short stay in Spaceland. He has, therefore, requested me to reply in his behalf to two special objections, one of an intellectual, the other of a moral nature.

Excerpt from Romance of Natural History If I may venture to point out one subject on which I have bestowed more than usual pains, and which I myself regard with more than com mon interest, it is that of the last chapter in this volume. An amount of evidence is adduced for the existence of the sub-mythic monster popularly known as the sea-serpent, such as has never been brought together before, and such as ought almost to set doubt at rest. But the cloudy un certainty which has invested the very being of this creature; its home on the lone ocean; the fitful way in which it is seen and lost in its vast solitudes; its dimensions, vaguely gigantic; its dragon-like form; and the possibility of its asso ciation with beings considered to be lost in an obsolete antiquity; all these are attributes which render it peculiarly precious to a romantic natu ralist. I hope the statisticians will forgive me if they cannot see it with my spectacles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
