258 INDUCTION OF THE LAWS OF LIFE. 



This motion of the double stars is the idea of life 

 enacted on a different scale. Atoms, or stars, " en- 

 dowed with approximating tendencies, carried per- 

 petually into divergent relations !" 



Thus, not only in the motions of the pendulum, 

 but in those also of the stars, we might find an ana- 

 logue of the essential process in organic life a 

 chemical force, resisted, producing a chemical and a 

 vital motion.
