The motto `Naturam Primum Cognoscere Rerum' is from the poem De Rerum Natura (III, 1072) by Lucretius, Roman poet, philosopher and scientist. It is translated by Cyril Bailey (1946) `first to learn the nature of things'; an alternative, following Rolfe Humphries 1968 translation of De Rerum Natura, would be `above all to find out the way things are'.
A careful reading of this Handbook will greatly assist a student.
