...criticism made here will not take issues with the new theory of instruction by cases. But lack of time and experience to test and impart it in such a masterly form, method, and application as we may hope to see the future produce, we believe should prevent its extensive or very general introduction at present...
...other by a gentleman. Instead of awarding the entire fox to the successful huntsman only the tail is given to him, while the feet and head are the booty of those coming up afterwards. The hunt was completed by a dinner on the return to the house, but the lack of time forced us to leave a merry feast.

Here, then, is the gain...

This instinct is strongest where experience is least; and young men can hardly be expected to resolve not to do what their predecessors for generations have done, unless they receive in this course encouragement and support from the emphatic counsels and warnings of those whose opinions and advice they have learned to respect and follow...
