Excerpt from Hardwicke's Science-Gossip, Vol. 27: An Illustrated Medium of Interchange and Gossip for Students and Lovers of Nature Another swing of the Pendulum of Life! Only three-score years and ten - not that, according to the statistics of the Registrar-General, if we take the average life of the humanity introduced upon our planet. One feels inclined to modify the well-known lines of the Latin Poet, popularly set forth by Longfellow, about Art being long, and Life being fleeting. Instead of Art, read Science. Art was evolved to please people - Science to instruct them. Art has played to the most foolish, most extravagant, most lascivious peoples of the world. Art is glorious: it is the Revelation of genius. But Science is Democratic - it is the possession of all. Men like Robert Dick of Thurso, and Thomas Edwards, are the apostles of this new democratic possession of a scientific intellectual power which is neither aristocratic nor oligarchic, but which belongs to the "Commonweal." This is the present Editor's "coming of age." For twenty-one years he has enjoyed the delightful responsibility of addressing and interesting thousands (perhaps scores of thousands) of readers of Science-Gossip every month. The responsibility is great - greater than few are aware of. The correspondence entailed is enormous; so the Editor has to appeal to the Christian patience of his readers. He is always open to receive any suggestions from readers that will influence the commercial success of his journal - a success the Editor would derive no advantage from, but which he would be delighted to see the Publishers thereof should, if only as an expression of their generous and trusting confidence in himself.
