erimental science.

If, as has already happened, unfortunately, in the history of science,
these conditions are not complied with; if the freedoms of the workers
are trammelled, their unity disturbed, and if material facilities are
too parsimoniously afforded them,--evolution, at present so rapid, may
be retarded, and those retrogressions which, by-the-by, have been
known in all evolutions, may occur, although even then hope in the
future would not be abolished for ever.

There are no limits to progress, and the field of our investigations
has no boundaries. Evolution will continue with invincible force. What
we to-day call the unknowable, will retreat further and further before
science, which will never stay her onward march. Thus physics will
give greater and increasing satisfaction to the mind by furnishing new
interpretations of phenomena; but it will accomplish, for the whole of
society, more valuable work still, by rendering, by the improvements
it suggests, life every day more easy and more agreeable, and by
providing mankind with weapons against the hostile forces of Nature.
