Famous quotes containing the word series:

    “As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
