SYSTEMATIC SYNTHESIS OF TISSUES INTO ORGANS. 



Introductory . 



245. TISSUES ARE CONSTITUTED by the process of 

 compounding Elements and Proximate Principles. 



246. ORGANS ARE CONSTRUCTED by weaving to- 

 gether Tissues. 



247. TISSUES EXHIBIT characteristics entirely differ- 

 ent from those that could be shown by their components 

 separately, so that neither suggests the other, and there 

 seems to be a new creation. 



248. Remark. IT is VERY DIFFICULT FOR THE MIND TO PERCEIVE 

 that the characteristics of a compound, as well as those of a mixture, are 

 wholly owing to the properties of their Elements ; and because neither 

 by itself can exhibit any part of the characteristic of the compound, 

 the MIND CANNOT EASILY APPRECIATE THE FACT, that to exhibit new char- 

 acteristics in combination with other Elements is one of the properties 

 of every Element. From habits of thought and expression the MIND is 

 APT TO JUDGE that where entirely new characteristics are observed, there 

 must be some new substance, or some new creative power ; and thus a 

 practical idea of great value is not realized. 



249. lllus. THE PROPERTY OF EXHIBITING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF 

 WATER belongs to Oxygen in combination with Hydrogen, and to them 

 alone to no other Elements either separately or conjointly ; and the fact
