First Sentence

"Not Copernicus and Galilei [sic], when they abolished the Ptolemaic system; not Newton, when he annihilated the Cartesian vortices; not Young and Fresnel, when they exploded the Corpuscular Theory; not Faraday and Clerk-Maxwell, in their splendid victory over Actio in distans - more thoroughly shattered a malignant and dangerous heresy, than did Joule when he overthrew the baleful giant FORCE, and firmly established, by lawful means, the beneficent rule of the rightful monarch, ENERGY!"
