Subjects: | Observation |
Recounts John Lubbock's assertion that John Ruskin had 'undoubtedly done very much more [...] for science' than Johann W von Goethe. Even 'without any pretensions to profound scientific knowledge', Ruskin had 'an extraordinary natural gift for observation, and seemed to know by instinct what to observe'. | |
