Mendeleev's unique combination of an empirical methodology with a speculative nature - Eric Michael Johnson

This quote was added by jeremy_le_jyby
The common approach at the time was to teach science through the memorization of established truths, like the rows of Latin verbs that Mendeleev was punished for reciting incorrectly as a boy. But it was Mendeleev's unique combination of an empirical methodology with a speculative nature that drove him to envision novel interpretations of the chemical evidence.
