SCIENCE. 



131 



passages in the book. In the chapter on 

 Intellections, after all the faculties have 

 been dealt with, the author makes a number 

 of wide sweeps across the whole iield to 

 show the numerous and complicated asso- 

 ciations that arise among the various series. 

 No tabular exhibits are offered, and the 

 reader is asked to carry in his mind all 

 that has gone before and to put things to- 

 gether for himself. There are many gaps 

 in the terminology which he must supply, 

 and several new series come out that appear 

 not to have been dealt with before. A care- 

 ful digest of this chapter, and especially of 

 the matter on pages 302 and 303, seem to 

 justify the following table of correlations. 

 The five points of view are: (1) classifica- 

 tion ; (2) moi-phology ; (3) dynamics ; (4) 

 evolution ; (5) intellection. If by mor- 

 phology he means about the same as Iw- 

 mology, these correspond to five of his chap- 

 ters, viz., Chapters IX, X, XI, XIII and 

 XVIII. The pentalogies are as follows : 



Some of the terms have been dealt with in 

 previous chapters. The last terms of these 

 series are the two highest faculties, reflec- 

 tion and ideation. Metamorphosis and 

 metagenesis are treated in Chapter V as 

 processes or properties of geonomic bodies, 

 along with other apparently coordinate pro- 

 cesses, such as metalogisis (an etymologically 

 impossible word) and metaphysisis (for which 

 mefaphysis would have done as well and been 

 correct); but these do not appear in the 

 present connection. Cooperation is the 

 subject of Chapter XII, and development 

 does not so greatly differ from evolution, 

 which is the thing with which it is said to 

 be associated, and is the subject of Chapter 

 XIII. These two new series seem to be- 

 long immediately after the categories. The 

 first maybe called processes.- (1) series ; (2) 

 metamorphoses; (3) energies or powers; 

 (4) metageneses ; (5) reflections. The sec- 

 ond may, perhaps, be called products or re- 

 sultant conditions : (1) classes; (2) organ- 



It will be perceived that the first three of 

 these columns of associations correspond to 

 series 2, 1 and 3, respectively, viz., essen- 

 tialSjConstituents, and categories, except the 

 fifth and last term in each case, where sen- 

 sation is substituted for consciousness, per- 

 ception for judgment, and apprehensions 

 for concepts. It will be further observed 

 that the five associations considered in in- 

 tellection are neither more nor less than 

 the five faculties of intellection. We have, 

 however, in this presentation, two series of 

 principles that have not been previously 

 considered among the pentalogic properties. 

 These are seen in the two last columns. 



isms ; (3) cooperations ; (4) developments ; 

 (5) ideations. 



In his final svimmary (p. 413) the au- 

 thor throws some further light upon his 

 general conception of these interrelated 

 principles. He says that the constituents 

 ' develop into ' the categories, and that in 

 so doing both the essentials and the vari- 

 ables ' become ' something else, which gives 

 rise to two other new series, here intro- 

 duced for the first time in any systematic 

 way, although, as in the cases last consid- 

 ered, many of the terms have been dis- 

 cussed, and several of them are the same 

 in form at least as the terms of other series,
