Glaucus; Or, The Wonders of the Shore
·
Charles Kingsley
34
Moreover,
he
must
keep
himself
free
from
all
those
perturbations
of
mind
which
not
only
weaken
energy,
but
darken
and
confuse
the
inductive
faculty;
from
haste
and
laziness,
from
melancholy,
testiness,
pride,
and
all
the
passions
which
make
men
see
only
what
they
wish
to
see.
Of
solemn
and
scrupulous
reverence
for
truth;
of
the
habit
of
mind
which
regards
each
fact
and
discovery,
not
as
our
own
possession,
but
as
the
possession
of
its
Creator,
independent
of
us,
our
tastes,
our
needs,
or
our
vain-glory,
I
hardly
need
to
speak;
for
it
is
the
very
essence
of
a
nature’s
faculty—
the
very
tenure
of
his
existence:
and
without
truthfulness
science
would
be
as
impossible
now
as
chivalry
would
have
been
of
old.
And
last,
but
not
least,
the
perfect
naturalist
should
have
in
him
the
very
essence
of
true
chivalry,
namely,
self-devotion;
the
desire
to
advance,
not
himself
and
his
own
fame
or
wealth,
but
knowledge
and
mankind.
He
should
have
this
great
virtue;
and
in
spite
of
many
shortcomings
(for
what
man
is
there
who
liveth
and
sinneth
not?),
naturalists
as
a
class
have
it
to
a
degree
which
makes
them
stand
out
most
honourably
in
the
midst
of
a
self-seeking
and
mammonite
generation,
inclined
to
value
everything
by
its
money
price,
its
private
utility.
The
spirit
which
gives
freely,
because
it
knows
that
it
has
received
freely;
which
communicates
knowledge
without
hope
of
reward,
without
jealousy
and
rivalry,
to
fellow-students
and
to
the
world;
which
is
content
to
delve
and
toil
comparatively
unknown,
that
from
its
obscure
and
seemingly
worthless
results
others
may
derive
pleasure,
and
even
build
up
great
fortunes,
and
change
the
very
face
of
cities
and
lands,
by
the
practical
use
of
some
stray
talisman
which
the
poor
student
has
invented
in
his
laboratory;—
this
is
the
spirit
which
is
abroad
among
our
scientific
men,
to
a
greater
degree
than
it
ever
has
been
among
any
body
of
men
for
many
a
century
past;
and
might
well
be
copied
by
those
who
profess
deeper
purposes
and
a
more
exalted
calling,
than
the
discovery
of
a
new
zoophyte,
or
the
classification
of
a
moorland
crag.
