Saying / Proverb★★★
Neology, Phrenology, Geology, and even Theology, have become a good deal crazed, since the death of our intellectual luminaries, who gave such remarkably clear and scriptural instructions upon the First Cause. Second causes, human instrumentalities, and hobbies, have been ridden and run, some to death, others into darkness and semi-skepticism, till we scarcely know who is who, and what is what.
The point
Laments that many fields of study have grown confused since the loss of clear-thinking teachers on first causes.
