The Interbond of the 
[December, 
first Cause of all things.” “ Every particle in being is con- 
stantly passing through Forms , Orders, and Degrees ,” each 
“ unceasingly seeking association and equilibrium.” Every 
association of atoms, large or small, “ has a previous cor- 
respondent.” Every “ correspondent is a type, symbol, and 
representative of higher and more perfect spheres,” but all 
in an advanced stage of progression. General and special 
interferences are seemingly existing when things are parti- 
cularly and minutely considered ; but when the great System 
is considered as a whole, harmony alone is visible, and is a 
true correspondent of the Vast Universe, and the whole thus 
existing receives “the tranquillising influence of Divine 
Law.” * 
Solar System. 
The Sun, the centre of our system, is but a remote planet 
of another system existing prior to its formation. The Sun 
has two motions ; one on its axis, the other in its orbit, 
around a greater centre. Eight planets are determined on ; 
but the eighth and ninth are not recognised as belonging to 
the Solar System.! The Sun’s atmosphere extended to the 
orbit occupied by the ninth planet, or rather cometary body. 
Eledtricity was the agent by which a transfer was made of 
molecular substances to new stations. 
Then follows a long comment upon the nature of motion 
and its action upon planetary arrangement, and a description 
of the nine planets, their magnitudes, atmospheres, motions, 
with the motions of their satellites. He gives the eighth 
planet, Neptune, six, Uranus six, Saturn seven, Jupiter 
four moons (no mention is made of those of Mars). He 
says that the ninth, eighth, and seventh planets are unin- 
habited. A description is given of the surface appearances, 
vegetation, animals, and man, in each of the others. The 
asteroids, which he states are four (Ceres, Pallas, Juno, 
and Vesta), are portions of a planet, “ thrown asunder by an 
incomprehensible expansion of interior elements.” 
The general astronomical didta are generally in accordance 
with the attainment of the science of 1846, the eighth and 
ninth planets excepted. 
* Mr. Fishbough, in a note, says the Clairvoyant incidentally said Man 
was the only being who has pursued a course of isolated and selfish adtion, 
governed by laws which never did and never can exist in Nature, or in the 
plans and institutions of the Great Mind. 
t This was March 1846, months before Le Verrier’s conclusions had been 
announced in America ( vide p. 161).
