 precisely such a science as it is claimed is now dis-

 precisely such a discovery. The new science, so 

 claimed to be, is denominated ' Universology,' and is 

 said to have the same relation to the universe, as a 

 whole, as that which any special science now holds, 

 or has held, to its own special domain. The lecturer

 there is, in fact, only one science, of the principles 

 of which all the special sciences are merely particular 

 modifications or instances. Mr. ANDREWS affirms that

 quently science is yet in the chaotic or fragmentary 

 stage of its development. The new science is to 

 supply this defect, and to base all the known sci- 

 ences, and, indeed, all possible sciences, upon an 

 a priori knowledge of exact scientific laws of uni-
