Abstract
VI.
AMONG the difficulties which are likely to impede the ready realisation of the object to which attention has been drawn, there remains one which will always be most keenly felt by those who have devoted the most thought to the question. Beneath the word “Science” there lurks a distressing ambiguity, which, though it may not force itself upon the attention of the devoted students of any particular branch, is always arising when the general claims of scientific study come on for discussion. For our present purpose it is particularly important to attach that meaning to the word which, while best justified by usage, is also most calculated to conciliate good will from all quarters.
