Gosse is online

I tried to do an OCR with Acrobat but I got an error message that it couldn't do it because the resolution was below the minimum of 144 dpi.

Gosse wrote on p. 3,

"What we have investigated with no little labour and patience, what we have seen with our eyes many many times, in many aspects, and under many circumstances, we naturally believe firmly; and we are very prone to attach the same assurance of certainty to the inferences we have, bona fide, and with scrupulous care to eliminate error, deduced from our observations, as to the observations themselves; and we are apt to forget that some element of error may have crept into our actual investigations, and still more probably into our deductions. Even if our observations be so simple, so patent, so numerous, as almost to preclude the possibility of mistake in them, and our process of reasoning from them be without a flaw, still we may have overlooked a principle, which, though perhaps not very obvious, ought to enter into the investigation, and which, if recognised, would greatly modify our conclusions."

Well, this principle that Gosse suggests exists in my estimation and it would not only modify the conclusions of scientists but would greatly modify their efforts at controlling nature.

Presently, students are not taught in schools what they need to know. Instead, as a result of prejudice or perhaps sexual bias, a book by a woman: Madame Blavatsky, was shoved under a rug - ONLY IT WILL RESURFACE because human values dictate that even women receive a fair share of the work.

The book: THE SECRET DOCTRINE was published in 1888, after this work by Gosse and after Darwin's thesis was published.

As Gosse and Darwin were first, perhaps it is fair that their works should be digested first - pristinely, but THE SECRET DOCTRINE contains a theory of evolution discovered by and based upon the senses of a woman.

When women received equal standing in 1920, the book should have been resurrected, however men being proud as they are continued on their course of giving it no notice.

Within this book a theory of evolution, also described on my webpage, was presented, but children go to school today without hearing this theory.

If there is contact between these two kingdoms of nature: the human and the girasas, then we want to know. We want people to tell us about the work that has been done, so that if we choose to, we may advance the study by our own additional work.

Unfortunately, from my understanding, if the girasas kingdom begins to speak (through what I had always considered my own mouth, mind you), then it might result in the human kingdom losing the ability to speak. You ask for proof, and yet who is willing to ask another individual to go to this length, forfeiting their own rights and life processes so that they may show you the existence of a higher kingdom within themselves?

If people only knew what they asked for, wouldn't they be gentler and kinder regarding the standards and accept written words or visual images, anything rather than the girasas showing themselves through the human without fail.

Within THE SECRET DOCTRINE, we are told that we as humans only began to speak and use language during the third root race, but certainly there were inner communications that could be made somehow before speech came into use so that animals could be directed and guided by the human force working within the limitations of the animal to alter those limitations into a form conducive to human life.

My Acrobat (3D ver 8) didn't give an error message and did identify some words, not many though.

I am now trying to clean up the image by making it single page sequential (one book page per Acrobat page) and this seemed to help.

Presently trimming off the dirty edges (slow and tedious job) and then I'll try again.

Even if it doesn't work, trimming off the edges has made the file smaller and it is easier to read.

Not sure what to do with all the pictures though.
Should I export them seperately to bmps and then paste into the text if the OCR and conversion works?
