HEAT AND COLD. 



Ignorance and jealousy of his own kind, backed 

 with individual gluttony oblivious of all outward 

 impressions, hankering to inward impressions or 

 habits exacting one article of food, destroyed his 

 natural inherent knowledge of all earthly matter. 

 Further aided by his fall in worldly knowledge 

 by inward impressions and jealousy, he resorted 

 to a method of groping for revelation from some be- 

 ing who existed in fancy. That mode of reasoning 

 again corrupted and tended to mislead him from the 

 true path of knowledge. Knowledge being properly 

 in the impressions derived by our sensory nerves and 

 transmitted to the brain, by contact with material prop- 

 erties. 



Being further aided by the nerves of vision 

 transmitting to the brain the sense of appearance. 

 Again aided by the sense of sound transmitted to our 

 brains by the nerves of the ear registering the impres- 

 sion by contact against them. In fact, every impres- 

 sion derived by man worked in measure of matter by 

 contact with same. The impression generated by con- 

 tact of a property against a pore, becomes registered 

 in the brain by the exaction of particles from the prop- 

 erty by the nerve, and consequent conveyal of same 

 to the brain. The brain compounds other properties 

 with the particle and thereby measures it unerringly 



In the case of a sound coming to the ear, the par* 

 tide generating the sound agitates particles of the 

 same order which are conveyed in the atmospheric 

 waves. These particles impinge against the auditory
