CHART AND SCALE OF TRUTH

IN TWO VOLUMES

VOL I

I have not made it my business either to quit or follow any authority, in the ensuing discourse: truth has been my only aim; and wherever that has appeared to lead, my thoughts have impartially followed, without minding, whether the footsteps of any other lay that way or not. Not that I want a due respect to other men's opinions; but, after all, the greatest reverence is due to truth.-LOCKE, Hum. Und. book i. chap. 4, § 23.
