CONCLUSION. 259 



will, of necessity, be more or less divergent, and so long they 

 will, at most, be able to attain only the body of truth, without 

 its soul. 



2. If our Philosophy contains some truth and some error, 

 then its truths, bearing as they do upon subjects of the most 

 striking and important character, may, by exciting minds 

 capable of elaborating and extending them, yet form the nu- 

 cleus of a grand system of true thought, which may be pro- 

 gressively brought to a state as near perfect as may comport 

 with the finiteness of the human mind. 



3. If it contains a large preponderance of truth, and but 

 little essential error, then considerable progress has already 

 been made in developing the means of reconciling the jargon 

 of conflicting thought upon all subjects natural and spiritual, 

 and in demolishing the partition walls between the Jew of 

 Theology on the one hand, and the Gentile of Philosophy on 

 the other, and making of the twain one new man, thus making 

 peace. 



We are next, therefore, in the light of facts, truths, princi- 

 ples, laws, correspondences, etc., developed in the preceding 

 pages, to proceed to consider a general theme of perhaps still 

 more interest, viz., the MICROCOSM, or corresponding universe 

 within. In the course of our investigations upon this subject, 

 we shall probably speak of man physically, psychologically, 

 individually, and socially, with a view of exhibiting his rela- 

 tions to all other things, his susceptibility to their influence, 

 and the conditions of his true progress and happiness. 



Should not unforeseen influences prevent, this second Trea- 

 tise, or rather second part of the present one, will be ready' for 

 publication in the course of a few months.
