This ignorance and this curiosity had led to the utmost confusion in human knowledge; all things were still mere personal experience; the Nomenclatures of theory did not exist; printing was done at enormous cost; scientific communication had little or no facility; the Church persecuted science and all research which was based on the analysis of natural phenomena.
"The Hated Son"
Honore de Balzac
The preparatory studies which tried me so much were nothing to the intense work of the school itself, which has for its object to put the whole of physical science, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, and all their Nomenclatures into the minds of young men of nineteen to twenty-one years of age.
"The Village Rector"
Honore de Balzac
The truth is that men refuse to come under the classifications of the pseudo-scientists, and all our new Nomenclatures do not add much to our knowledge.
