| Gentlemen and ladies, I announce to you this theory of immortality
| for the first time.  It is poorly said, poorly thought;  but its
| foundation is the rock of truth.  And at least it will serve to
| illustrate what use might be made by mightier hands of this
| reviled science, logic, 'nec ad melius vivendum, nec ad
| commodius disserendum'.
