1. By Prof. M. A. CLANCY :

 Humanity is beset, in the labor of making it under- 

 stood and appreciated, with difficulties commensurate

 fact or principle be not easy of exposition and com- 

 prehension, the difficulty in the case of Universology 

 is enhanced by so much as the whole is greater than 

 a part. The problem is the more severe owing in 

 part to the fact that the extreme simplicity of the fun- 

 damental aspect of the discovery is such that it is 

 exceedingly difficult first to apprehend it, and then 

 to express it in intelligible language ; and in part to 

 the novelty of view which the student is called upon 

 to take of facts and phenomena with which he is al-

 discovery has, therefore, a twofold character. It is 

 not only a Science vast as the Universe in its scope, but a 

 Method of Scientific Procedure capable of application to 

 every domain of Thought and Being, in the new in-
