Nothing Is Ever Too Good To Be

When A Mathematician Engaged In Investigating Physical Actions And Results Has Arrived At His Own Conclusions, May They Not Be Expressed In Common Language As Fully, Clearly, And Definitely As In Mathematical Formulae? If So, Would It Not Be A Great Boon To Such As Well To Express Them So -- Translating Them Out Of Their Hieroglyphics That We Might Also Work Upon Them By Experiment?

I Think Chemistry Is Being Frittered Away By The Hairsplitting Of The Organic Chemists; We Have New Compounds Discovered, Which Scarcely Differ From The Known Ones And When Discovered Are Valueless-very Illustrations Perhaps Of Their Refinements In Analysis, But Very Little Aiding The Progress Of True Science.

I Can At Any Moment Convert My Time Into Money, But I Do Not Require More Of The Latter Than Is Sufficient For Necessary Purposes.

I Have Been So Electrically Occupied Of Late That I Feel As If Hungry For A Little Chemistry: But Then The Conviction Crosses My Mind That These Things Hang Together Under One Law & That The More Haste We Make Onwards Each In His Own Path The Sooner We Shall Arrive, And Meet Each Other, At That State Of Knowledge Of Natural Causes From Which All Varieties Of Effects May Be Understood & Enjoyed.

I Am Busy Just Now Again On Electro-magnetism And Think I Have Got Hold Of A Good Thing But Can't Say; It May Be A Weed Instead Of A Fish That After All My Labour I May At Last Pull Up.
