EVOLUTION AND DISSOLUTION 



it is equally necessary to formulate. While 

 Evolution always consists primarily in an inte- 

 gration of matter and concomitant dissipation 

 of motion, it ordinarily implies much more than 

 this. And it is obvious that only when all the 

 characteristics, both primary and secondary, of 

 Evolution and Dissolution, are expressed in a 

 single formula, can we be said to have obtained 

 the law of the continuous redistribution of 

 matter and motion which rhythm necessitates 

 throughout the knowable universe. 



To show how this, the most sublime achieve- 

 ment of modern science, has been brought about, 

 will be the object of the following chapter.
