[Ads-l] Request: Source of quote by Aristotle

[James Eric Lawson]

Except for two words ("the" > "their"; "best" > "finest"), that quote
seems to be from Durant's translation of Aristotle, as found in _The
Story of Philosophy_, 1926:

'And finally he establishes the science of embryology. “He who sees
things grow from their beginning” he writes, “will have the finest view
of them.”'
