MATTER AND ITS FORCE. & 



besides being magnets, all atoms are governed by the universal 

 law which we have advanced, but not till the last chapter is 

 finished, will we consider that we have proved our assertions, 

 for should one effect or phenomenon of nature arise which 

 cannot be explained by it, then we throw the whole theory 

 aside as utterly worthless. We conclude this one by stating, 

 that as Herbert Spencer's Philosophy is based on the fact, that 

 all matter obeys a simple and universal law of attraction, and 

 as we have now shown there is also a law of repulsion, his 

 foundation is defective, and the greater part of his theories must 

 consequently be worthless.
