On the contrary, a very cursory examination of the Inductive Method will show defects which render it unavailable as the sole or the chief guide in Scientific inquiry.
The leading characteristic of the Inductive Method, that for which it is mainly admired, is its cautious, laborious, oftentimes tedious Observation and Collection of the Facts of Experience, and their careful Classification as a basis for the derivation of a Principle or Law applicable to the Phenomena grouped together. By this means, it is said, we secure precision and _certainty_, by which is intended, not only the _certainty_of_that_which_is_already_observed_and_classified_, but also _the_certainty_of_that_which_is_deduced_from_the_Law_or_Principle_derived_from_these_known_Facts_. It is just here, however, that the Inductive Method is lacking. Experience may testify a thousand, ten thousand, any indefinite number of times, to the repetition of the same Phenomena, and yet we can have no _certainty_ of the recurrence of the same Phenomena, in the future, in the same way.
