AUTHOR’S PREFACE.
To the superficial observer scientific truth is unassailable, the logic of science is infallible; and if scientific men
sometimes make mistakes, it is because they have not understood the rules of the game. Mathematical truths are
derived from a few self-evident propositions, by a chain
of flawless reasonings; they are imposed not only on us,
but on Nature itself. By them the Creator is fettered,
as it were, and His choice is limited to a relatively small
number of solutions. A few experiments, therefore, will
be sufficient to enable us to determine what choice He has
made. From each experiment a number of consequences
will follow by a series of mathematical deductions, and
in this way each of them will reveal to us a corner of the
universe. This, to the minds of most people, and to students who are getting their first ideas of physics, is the
origin of certainty in science. This is what they take to be
the r？le of experiment and mathematics. And thus, too,
it was understood a hundred years ago by many men of
science who dreamed of constructing the world with the
aid of the smallest possible amount of material borrowed
from experiment.

TRANSLATOR’S NOTE.
The translator wishes to express his indebtedness to
Professor Larmor, for kindly consenting to introduce the
author of Science and Hypothesis to English readers; to
Dr. F. S. Macaulay and Mr. C. S. Jackson, M.A., who
have read the whole of the proofs and have greatly helped
by suggestions; also to Professor G. H. Bryan, F.R.S.,
who has read the proofs of Chapter VIII., and whose
criticisms have been most valuable.
