It is well known to all students of nature that knowledge passes 

 through three stages. The first is the observing and descriptive stage, 

 in which the universe is explored for new materials and facts. The sec- 

 ond is the inductive and classifying stage in which facts and materials 

 are arranged according to dijffering bases and general principles arrived 

 at. The third is the deductive or predictive stage, the true scientific 

 stei), in which the laics and the true nature- of things are ascertained 

 with such accuracy that new consequences may be deduced, and the 

 recurrence of phenomena, under certain circumstances, may be pre- 

 dicted. A scheme of nomenclature is presented below merely as a sug- 

 gestion, in order to ascertain the opinion of anthropologists as to its 

 merits. To represent the three stages mentioned above, the Greek 

 words Tpafrji ^oyoq, and v<5,ao<; are chosen to furnish the significant termi- 

 nation, agreeably to established analogy. As will be seen, a difficulty 

 occurs with psychology and phrenology, and with the terms denoting 

 the spirit world together with the actions and apparatus growing out of 

 it. These difiiculties have been noticed under the appropriate head. 



As the genesis or origin of anything is essentially speculative, how- 

 ever necessary, the first term of our technical series does not admit of 

 this tripartite division :

•By a further application of the Greek word ycrc'a, this term micht ho nsed in a pcneric sense as the 

 bejrinning of a quaternary division, making the series — anthropo^eny, anthropoKrai)hy, anthropology, 

 anthroponomy; thus giving four columns instead of three; thotust of which would embrace the genesis 

 of those branches in which the qaestion of oiigin could aii&o.
