Excerpt from Macmillan's Magazine, Vol. 53: November, 1885 to April, 1886

In contending, then, that the dis tinction between science and culture is not coincident with the distinction between the study of the external universe on the one hand and the study of letters on the other, let me first try to Show that science does not exclude letters - that letters admit of a scientific treatment just as much as the phenomena of light or the circula tion of the blood.

Having given an extended sense to the word science, I will indicate the part that it plays in culture; and finally I will maintain that, though an essential factor in culture, it is not the only factor. I will try to Show that science embraces one aspect of letters, but is itself only one element in a wider conception of culture.
