390 CONCLUSION. SKCT. XXXV1U. 



the localities of organized beings on the earth, in the 

 waters, and in the air. The connection of heat with 

 electrical phenomena, and the electricity of the atmos- 

 phere, together with all its energetic effects, its identity 

 with magnetism and the phenomena of terrestrial po- 

 larity, can only be understood from the theories of these 

 invisible agents, and are, probably, identical with, or at 

 least the principal causes of, chemical affinities. Innu- 

 merable instances might be given in illustration of the 

 immediate connection of the physical sciences, most of 

 which are united still more closely by the common bond 

 of analysis, which is daily extending its empire, and will 

 ultimately embrace almost every subject in nature in its 

 formulae. 



These formulae, emblematic of Omniscience, condense 

 into a few symbols the immutable laws of the universe. 

 This mighty instrument of human power itself originates 

 in the primitive constitution of the human mind, and 

 rests upon a few fundamental axioms, which have eter- 

 nally existed in Him who implanted them in the breast 

 of man when He created him after His own image.
