 imagine, however, that because the number five holds 

 good in the primary divisions of structure in the animal 

 and vegetable kingdoms^ it should equally do so in 

 every thing; and he accordingly constructs a fourth

 was published in Paris in 1 822 ; but as we have it not 

 at present to refer to^ we shall transcribe the following
