"If we were to compare Mr. Chapin's powers of mathematical and speculative insight with those of eminent modern physicists, it would be greatly to his disparagement. We think, nevertheless, that he reasons on physics much better than Aristotle, and has much clearer ideas on many scientific subjects" (North American Review, vol. 105, no. 216, July, 1867, pp. 330-331).
