CONCLUDING REMARKS 287 



alloyed but not combined, could adhere but not be assimilated, 

 and would be the least destructible form of uranium. 



The student of atomic chemistry will be able from this 

 example to detect the manner and direction in which it appears 

 probable to my mind that Table IV. of The Trinity opens 

 up a wide and unexplored field of future study, and that if it 

 is possible to ascertain its exact relation to chemical science, 

 what an important check or key to calculation it may become 

 to classify atomic values if it were possible to discover in what 

 way it would be useful in deciding chemical properties in 

 relation to their numerical values. In much the same manner 

 as I have in this treatise demonstrated, it tends to point out 

 the incompleteness, completeness or the durability of the com- 

 ponent parts of evolution when any of the tables of trinity or 

 trinities that may be produced are submitted to the analysis 

 of Table IV. 



These are some of the directions in which the utility of my 

 hypothesis may be extended, the magnitude of which is far 

 too great for me to endeavour to solve. Yet I think that these 

 concluding remarks, although too deep for the unscientific 

 reader, will be sufficient to interest the scientific reader and to 

 illustrate to him how my hypothesis may tend to advance 

 science a few steps along the mental road of evolution. But 

 so mighty is the magnitude of the hypothesis I have herein 

 opened up to controversy, that I feel certain that many of its 

 developments will take centuries to solve.
