APPENDICES. 
(A.) 
Mr. Hardy, in his Ontology of Buddhism * shows that, according to the 
teaching of Gdtama, there are twenty-eight members of the organized body, 
but among them no single entity is presented that we can regard as the 
primary and essential principle to which all the other parts are accessories. 
This is exactly the doctrine propounded at the last meeting of the British 
Association. The idea, “ which remained unassailable, that the living body 
was not a simple continuous whole, but that it was made up of a multitude 
of parts, which lived a quasi independent life.” 
(B.) 
As this important point is much controverted, I must request the reader 
to turn to the Englishman's Ilebreio and English Concordance under the 
head Man. This will suffice for our purpose, and we need only refer to the 
three first words, Adam, Ish, Enosh. Of these the first is used in all the 
different senses which we should express by the human family, whether as 
regards the intellect, “ for the Lord knoweth the thoughts of Adam that they 
are vanity ” ; or his body, for it is in the person of Adam that the slave- 
dealers traffic ;t their way of coming into the world, “though Adam be born 
like a wild ass’s colt”; or continuance in it, “for Adam, born of a woman, is of 
few days and full of trouble ” ; or, to finish up his history, “ Adam is like to 
vanity.”J When Jehovah declares His resolution, “ I will destroy man whom 
I have created from the face of the earth,” it is again the same charac- 
teristic expression Adam, i.e. the human family.§ 
In chap. xv. of 1 Cor. we find as nearly as possible to be expressed in 
Greek the same term used for all men who are subject to death, for, as “ in 
Adam all die ” (tv rf> A Mg). If, therefore, we search in Scripture for any 
portion of the human family not sons of Adam, we look in vain. Such 
would not belong to “ the first man Adam ” (and they could not be before 
the first), neither could they come under the quickening power of the second 
Adam, for the first of the human family (6 npuirog dv6ps>~oc) became a living 
soul, but the last, or, rather, highest, Adam, a life-giving Spirit. The first 
Adam came under the sentence of death, and involved all those who stand 
under his headship ; but the nobler Adam, whilst voluntarily submitting to
