have no transcendentalism ; every- 

 thing that is must be explained 

 by sound, or by touch, or by 

 smell, or by the taste. All this 

 talk of a great central sun with 

 light, making landscapes and from 

 which all things come, we have 

 no way of proving ; and hence to 

 believe it, or to admit it as an

 is unscientific. The scientific 

 method, let us never forget, is to 

 account for all things by the 

 elements which come within the 

 range of our four senses and the 

 reasoning based upon these per-

 in the cosmic science accepted 

 among moles the sun has nothing 

 to do with the growth of plants, 

 the formation of coal-beds, and 

 the rotation of the seasons.
