About this book
On the Philosophy of Discovery, Chapters Historical and Critical is by William Whewell, and includes the completion of the third edition of the Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences. The front matter lists History of the Inductive Sciences, History of Scientific Ideas and Novum Organon Renovatum among the latest editions of the series of works connected with the present subject.
The book says we know but little of the biography of Roger Bacon, who was suspected of magic and is said to have been put into close confinement in consequence of this charge. The writer says Mr. Mill supposed him to mean that the two Principles of Chemistry just stated are self-evident, in the same way and in the same degree as the Axioms of Geometry are so. A note on a diagram says Plato supposes the whole, and each of the two parts, to be divided in the same ratio, in order that the analogy of the division in each case may be represented.
