Excerpt from Fortification: Its Past Achievements, Recent Development, and Future Progress

Principles are lost in details, and criticism can have no place where dogma must necessarily reign supreme. Again, text-books tend to repeat each other with remarkable fidelity; and views, possibly fallacious, receive acceptance after sufficient reiteration. Finally, the text-book cannot well suggest the existence of doubt, may not refer too pointedly to current controversies, and must assume a large measure of certitude.
