180 THE WHOLE AND ITS PAKTS. 



mitted, it is nevertheless claimed that their manifest general 

 conformity to nature, together with their ternary relations 

 and correspondences, involved, after identically the same 

 general method, in each seven-fold series, clearly reveals the 

 presence of a grand structural or associative LAW which, in a 

 corresponding manner, and in different degrees of develop- 

 ment, governs the numbers, relations, and succession of parts, 

 in every complete system of natural unfolding. Of this law, 

 as before repeatedly intimated, the diatonic scale in music, 

 with its seven notes, is the natural and oral exponent. 



Having thus subjected the grand divisions of nature to re- 

 view, and discovered the application of this principle of serial 

 and correspondential classification to them all, let us now see 

 whether the connected and successive creations thus brought 

 under review, will naturally fall into the form of one grand 

 System, in which our principles of serial arrangement will be 

 exemplified. This may be best exhibited by the following 

 table: 



PRIMARY TRINITY. 

 (Structural.) 



1. Firmamental and sidereal uni- 

 verse. 



2. Solar systems. 



3. Geological developments. 



SECONDARY TRINITY. 

 (Organic.') 



4. System of chemical or com- 

 prehensive mineralogical ar- 

 rangements. 



5. Vegetable kingdoms 



6. Animal kingdoms. 



ULTIMATE. 



(Intellectual.) 



7. HUMAN RACES, as to their merely terrestrial constitutions, 

 affections, and thoughts. 



Not only do we observe in this series a natural order of 

 succession of parts, which will not admit of addition, retrench- 

 ment, or transposition, but we also observe the same ternary
