NA TURE-STUD V AND MORALS 8 1 



in the last analysis, human life, and its conditions — from that 

 tiny speck, that, somehow, came into being in some sequestered 

 spot, in a mysterious way, countless ages ago, down to the magnifi- 

 cent functions of a great brain that in its sympathy embraces the 

 world, we are slowly getting rid of our primitive conception of a 

 divided man. When at last our study shall no longer be man and 

 nature, but man in nature, then for the first time shall we be able 

 properly to marshal its facts as the natural means of developing the 

 highest moral life.
