parable to music. That these principles are both true 

 is rendered extremely probable by the actual phenomena

 the harmonious development of the whole. 



AH who have studied the phenomena of the creation

If the brain is the organ of mind, we may be sur- 

 prised to find that the brain of the intelligent man 

 scarcely differs in structure from that of the ape. 

 Whence, then, the difference of power ? Though no 

 one will now deny that many of the Mammalia are 

 capable of reasoning upon observed facts, yet how 

 greatly the results of this capacity differ in number 

 and importance from those achieved by human intelli- 

 gence ! Like water at the temperatures of 50 and 53, 

 where we perceive no difference in essential character, 

 so between the brains of the lower and higher monkeys 

 no difference of function or of intelligence is perceptible. 

 But what a difference do the two degrees of tempera- 

 ture from 33 to 31 produce in water! In like manner 

 the difference between the brain of the higher ape and 

 that of man is accompanied by a difference in function 

 and power, on which, man's earthly destiny depends. 

 In development, as with the water so with the higher 

 ape : some Rubicon has been crossed, some floodgate
