Philosophy, history, politics, and a few higher branches of the natural sciences were raised to this comparative viewpoint by the great men of the past two centuries, while in the other sciences, because of the abundance and complexity of their material, inferences only timidly begin to join with research. Searching every day more judiciously, research makes astonishing discoveries.

　在过去的两百年里，通过一批伟大学者们的努力，哲学、历史、政治、以及自然科学中的一些高级学科已经达到了与这个观点相应的高度。但是在其他科学领域里，由于所涉及到的材料数量庞大、性质复杂，推论在研究中的应用才刚刚起步，还显得缩手缩脚。只有每日进行更加睿智的探索，研究才能获得惊人的发现。

　两世纪以来，哲学、历史、政治，以及少数自然科学的较高分枝通过伟人们的成就提高到这一相应观点，而在其它学科，由于其材料的丰富性和复杂性，推论仅仅羞怯地开始参与科研。通过日益明智的调查，科研得到令人惊讶的发现。
