"THE Basic .Outline of Universology " lias been announced by my publisher to appear earlier than the present date. Reconsideration and the advice of scientific friends in whose judgment I have great confidence have resulted in some change in the order of publication. It is urged on me by my advisers, who have read and who express their great interest in the success of the larger work, that, while I have regarded it as an Introduction merely to the Science of Universology, it needs , itself, to be introduced ; and not alone by Intro- ductions which speak about the science, descriptively, (" The Basic Outline ' is itself prefaced by several such), but by a smaller work, less technical and elaborate, giving, nevertheless, some real insight into the nature and principles of the science itself, and some intelligible illustrations of the working of those principles, upon so limited a scale as to be accessible by the whole intelligent public. It is urged that the larger work, by its bulk and expensiveness, and by the greater difficulty which attaches to its more technical, and consequently less popular form, will be necessarily restricted to a smaller public; that it may even incur neglect, if not misapprehension and a temporary unpopularity, IV PREFACE. from the prevalence of new terras and methods of treatment, unless a previous interest is secured, on the part of readers, l)y a specimen, at least, of 'the subject first presented in a simpler and less laborious way. The very great advantage of the technicalities of the science, as contained and used in " The Basic Outline," is not for a moment questioned ; but it is again urged, that an appetite for a new article of mental food, as well as in the case of physical nutri- ment, must first be cultivated, to some extent, before the people will appreciate, and take the trouble to learn to use, the machinery, however simple in itself, by which the acquisition and preparation of such food are to be facilitated. I have yielded to the force of these arguments, and shall delay the publication of " The Basic Out- line of Universology ' until after that of this Pre- amble, or " Synopsis," which has been prepared with a view to meet the special demand so laid upon me, with what success the readers of this little prelim- inary work must judge. Brunei, when he had built " The Great Eastern," found nearly as much diffi- culty in launching her as he had met and overcome in the construction. If, by the judicious advice of friends, or by, in a word, the use of all appropriate means, I can succeed in projecting this new science on the world in such a manner as to secure its earliest and most favorable acceptance, a slight change of programme, which postpones, for a little, the publication of a particular work, already electro- typed and in proofs, will be of small moment ; and PREFACE. V the subscribers for " The Basic Outline r will, I doubt not, excuse the temporary disappointment. Considerable preparation has already been made, in the public mind, for such favorable reception of "the New Science, by the publication of the following card, signed by gentlemen who are at once recog- nized as among those most competent to form a just opinion upon a subject of this nature : " UNIVERSOLOGY."— A CARD. The undersigned having listened to Mr. STEPHEN PEARL ANDREWS'S preliminary statement of " Universology," and been impressed with the importance and originality of the new scien- tific claim, as well as with the profound research implied in it, do cordially concur in urging the publication of the work at the ear- liest possible date.

VI PREFACE. I cut from the "Washington Chronicle," of Janu- ary 13, 1870, the following very brief and lucid appre- ciation of the fundamental character of Universologv. o*/ Emanating from another source, it is, perhaps, better adapted to give, in a few words, a first proper im- pression of the whole matter, than any thing which I may have said, or may be able to say, on the subject : " UNIVERSOLOGY — DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW SCIENCE. — Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, of New York, claims to have discovered a new science, which he calls Universology, and which is so inclusive in its scope as to exhibit the fundamental laws which pervade and govern the universe. These laws, he contends, are few in number, but infinite in their application, and so modified by the necessities of the various domains of thought, being, or action, in which they manifest themselves, as to present myriads of phe- nomena apparently unrelated to each other. There is, according to Mr. Andrews, really but one science, what are now called sciences being merely sub- sciences, or so many different manifestations of one universal law, varied in its application according to the sphere of its operations. u Just as the mathematician recognizes all the ap- plications of arithmetic to be merely different ways, for different purposes, of adding numbers to or sub- tracting them from each other ; just as he sees in the pair of scales, the pair of scissors, and the propul- sion of a boat by an oar or a paddle, precisely the same principle, the lever, but so necessarily modi- P B E F A C E . Vll fiecl in its application, in each case, as to be unrecog- nized by the superficial observer, so Mr. Andrews claims that all the so-called sciences, abstract and concrete — and, if we understand him, all arts, all things, are inter-related — are, in fact, but so many varied manifestations of one Supreme Law, or God's "Will. And it is this law and its boundless opera- tions that Mr. Andrews claims to have discovered and is about to publish. Such a discovery, if really made, would so far transcend any past achievement of man, and seems altogether so doubtful, that the most sanguine progressive scientist might well be excused for receiving the announcement with an incredulous smile, were it not for the fact that the New York papers contain a highly complimentary card, signed by Professor Youmans, President Bar- nard, of Columbia College, Judge Daly, ex-Mayor Opdyke, Parke Godwin, and a dozen other equally eminent men, who have partially investigated Mr. Andrews' claims, calling upon him to publish his discoveries." It is evident that the discovery of Universology will not only exert a revolutionary influence on the positive body of systematized knowledge in the world, as such, that is to say upon science itself, but equally upon the Art of Communicating Scientific Knowledge ; that it will, in other words, reconstitute the whole business of Education. It will establish Unity of System in the Educational Domain, for the world, and will be to the rapid extension of learning what the rail-road is for travel, and the telegraph for V1I1 PREFACE. the transmission of news. The future students of Science, instead of coming up laboriously to some imperfect mastery of the whole subject through the details of two or three special Sciences, will begin in the knowledge of Universal Principles, and will come down upon the whole substrate mass of Scientific specialties from a previously attained height of Uni- versal Scientific knowledge equally applicable to every domain. This subject is too large to be more than alluded to in this place, but its importance cannot fail to be appreciated. The masses of the people, in all countries, in the future, instead of arriving at a mere knowledge of the rudiments of education, will possess, in an astonishing degree, the theory and details of all the sciences. Science will become popularized beyond any conception of the possibility of such a result which has prevailed hitherto. The whole people will enjoy the eleva- ting influences and the new powers conferred by literary and scientific acquisitions vastly be}rond what is now meant by " a liberal education." The discovery of this new Centralizing and Uni- tary Science will demand the founding of a special UNIVERSITY, vastly larger, in design, than any now or ever heretofore extant, devoted to the promulgation of Universal Principles, to the introduction of this New System of Education for the Planet, and to serve as the nucleus of a New Universal or Planetary Government, which should accompany the Unification of the Science and that of the Language of tho PREFACE. ix Human Race. The ivealtli of the world may le legiti- mately levied upon for that end. The classically educated reader may be impatient at times with the pains-taking explanation of the meaning of terms which he will find in my writings ; but I write, equally, for the non-classical ; and I know how necessary and grateful such aids of the under- standing often are to them.

An effort is made, in the body of this work, to give a very incipient, inductive, and simple presenta- tion of the newly discovered Science of the Uni- verse. It is thought, however, that it will not be inappropriate to make in this Introduction a some- what more formal Scientific Statement of the general character of Universology. 2. There are, it is discovered, only Three Funda- mental PKINCIPLES in the Universe. These are prop- erly named UNISM, DUISM, and TKINISM, because they are derived from, and stand definitely related to, the numbers ONE, Two, and THKEE, respectively. (Unu?, Duo, and Tres are the Latin words for ONE, Two, and THREE, and furnish the namings for these Three Primordial Principles.) 3. It is, however, convenient to speak, at times, of other special aspects of Being as Principles, but these will be all found to be mere Branchings of one or another of the Three Basis Principles just stated. 4. The first two of these three Principles, UNISM and DUISM, crop out and reappear under many forms, and, in the absence, heretofore, of any suf- ciently compendious Generalization, they have re- 2 INTRODUCTION. ceived a variety of narnings, fclius : UNISM is called Unity, Sameness, Centralizing or Centripetal Tend- ency, Gravitation, Arrival, Conjunction, Thesis or Synthesis, Integration, Combination, Contraction, Generality, Simplicity, etc., etc. It is the tendency to unite, or towards Unity, or the manifestation of the presence or results of that tendency, in thousands of modes, in every sphere of Being. 5. DUISM is called, Diversity, Difference or Variety, Decentralizing or Centrifugal Tendency, Repulsion, Departure, Separation, Antithesis, Analysis, Dif- ferentiation, Diffusion, Expansion, Speciality, Com- plexity, etc., etc. It is the tendency to disparting or dividing, or the manifestation of the presence or re- sults of that tendency, in thousands of modes, in every sphere of Being. By its nature, it not only departs from the Unism, but it also bifurcates or di- vides, in departing, into Two (or more) Branches, like the Tines of a fork ; and, in all senses, manifests an inherent alliance with Plurality, and PKIMAKILY or TYP- ICALLY ivith the number Two. 6. TBINISM is the Principle symbolized by the Totality of Being, or of any particular being. It is compounded of Unism and Duism as its Factors, Constituents, or Elements. Hence it is a Cardinated or Hingewise Principle, Entity, or Manifestation, as loetween the handle of the fork, which is One, on the one hand, and the Tines of the fork, which are Two (or moie), on the other hand. Trinism is, there- fore, the Type or Representative of the whole Fork, or other Compound and Resultant Object, and, so of INTRODUCTION. d All CONCRETE or BEAL Being — Unism and Duism being Abstract Elements of Being merely, or, as it were, Parts not united in any whole. (The Latin Cardo means a HINGE, hence we have Cardinal, Car- dinated, and, finally, CARDINISM, for the Hinging- Principle.) 7. For this Compound Principle, Trinisin (if the term Compound is permissible in respect to a Prin- ciple), there is not only no such multiplicity of nara- ings as there is for Unism and Duism (4, 5), but there is, on the contrary, an almost complete deficit of any naming whatsoever, other than in this new Technicality of Universology, Trinisin itself ; this Hinging Complexity, which is the Type or Plan of all Eeal Existence, being so subtle as to have, in a great measure, escaped observation. The " Synthesis ' of Fichte and Hegel, as differing from " Thesis," means, however, virtually Trinism. (B. O. t. 380.) 8. This is, then, the first statement of strictly Uni- versal and Exhaustive Principles, in Science. The im- portance of the discovery which has led to the pos- sibility of formulating such a statement will gradually appear. As these same Principles recur, like an echo, in every department of being, and consequently, in all the sciences, simply disguised by superficial dif- ferences, it results that there exists a Grand Under- lying Unity of the Sciences ; that there is, in fine, but one Science, of which the Special Sciences are merely branches or special manifestations. This One Science is UNIVERSOLOGY. It is based on Universal Analogy, or the Universal System of Occult Correspondences, INTRODUCTION. which results, in tarn, from this constant re-echoing 9 but in new and specific relations, of the same three Primitive Principles, (Unism, Duism, and Trinism), throughout all Domains. (62, ). 9. The first and simplest action of the human mind, when it begins to attend, is governed by the perception of Analogy ; but as the LAW of Analogy is not then understood, the result is a riot of the imagination, and a total want of the spirit of scien- tific exactitude. Thus we may suppose some early speculator, fascinated by the idea of a natural har- mony of numbers, affirming that there must be 24 chemical elements because there are twenty-four hours in the day (12.) This loosely generalizing method of reasoning was The Anticipatory Method in Science (improperly dignified as " Deductive "). In the technicalities of Universology it is strictly de- scribed as The Unismal Stage of the Scientific Mental Evolution ; (allied in a variety of senses with Primality and the Number One.) 10. The Baconian or Inductive Scientists, rightly disgusted and repelled by such vague guessing in the name of Science, instituted the Method of exact ob- servation, which now prevails in the scientific world, and which has led to such grand results ; but which has also the bad effect of making of our Scientific men, for the most part, mere Specialists, in a great degree incapable of any broad or generalizing idea, and even somewhat so of applying their own attri- bute of precision in any other than the exact direc- tion in which they may have adjusted the tube of INTRODUCTION. 5 their mental microscope. As a natural result of their revolt against the first vague and unscientific uses of Analogy, they have gone to the opposite extreme, and have become the Gradgrinds of Science, abound- ing in facts, but alike destitute of any artistic or constructive idea in arranging or disposing of their facts, and oblivious of any underlying and deeper Law which has originated the facts and guided in their distribution. The Stage of Scientific Develop- ment here described is the Inductive Stage. With no knowledge of Universal a priori Laws, but close, pa- tient and exact in isolated spheres of inquiry, and with an immense array of scientific successes at its back, the glory and glare of its triumph somewhat ob- scures to the devotees of this school the utter want of coherence, or of any spirit of systematic Unity in their fragmentary pursuits. (Technically this is the Ascending Wing of the Duismal Stage of the Scien- tific Mental Evolution ; allied in a variety of senses with Sequence or Secondisni and the number Two.) 11. At length, the impulse of broader and pro- founder thought induces us, as seekers after Unity of System in the Universe, to recur to the idea of Universal Underlying Principles of Analogy, carrying back to the inquiry, now, for the first time, the Spirit of Inductive Precision borrowed from the Second Stage, so modified as to apply to this new field of investigation ; to seek by positive discovery for the revelation of those Laws, and for the Serial method of their development, making of them a veritable fountain-head of all Special Laws, a spheral expaii- 6 INTRODUCTION. • sion of truth crossing all the lines of existing knowl- edges, and combining them, as levels cross perpen- diculars, or as chords cross and unite various radii of a circle, and so as thereby to exert a new and regulative influence over all the future achievements of mind. Such a discovery is now made, and constitutes Universolocjy. Analogy so understood, is the Anti- podes of Analogy as first vaguely intuited, and to which the Inductive Scientific World so properly opposed itself. But, nevertheless, it is peculiarly liable to be confounded, at the first blush, with the earlier and imperfect method, and, indeed, will con- tinue to be so, until thorough investigation shall have dissipated this erroneous impression. It will be supposed that the same objections lie against it as to that earliest and simplest stage of scientific rea- soning, from wliicli it is, however, only more remote than the Second or Inductive Stage itself. It is, indeed, merely the larger, and, as it were, the final applica- tion of the Inductive Principle, culminating in the establishment of a Legitimate Universal Deductive Method, in aid of, while yet, in part, transcending Induction. 12. (This new Stage of Science is technically the Descending Wing of the Duismal Stage of the Scien- tific Mental Evolution lapping over upon the Trinis- mal or Integral Method and governing it, as Induc- tion arose, at the other extreme, out of the Unismal Stage. B. O. c. 49, t. 136.) This Phase of Science is new, and can only be rightly judged of by those who make themselves competent, ly the specific study INTRODUCTION. 7 of Universology itself. The Scientific Men of the Fractional Duismal Stage (the Existing Scientific world; are, for the most part, no better prepared to criticise Universology, than the intelligent public at large ; and, in respect to prejudice, they are far less so. The life-long habits of a mind bent persistently in another direction will require some time to re- adjust themselves to a system of thought claiming to be as much in advance of their stage of Scientific evolution as theirs is in advance of that with which they will tend, and perhaps in some cases endeavor, to confound it.1 The captains of sailing craft, 1 I commit no breach of confidence by stating the views of a distinguished and leading scientist on this subject as they were delivered to me in the course of conversation, and as they have been, in part, published by himself, passim, in his writings. Some five or six years ago, and when the discovery of Universology was far less advanced than at present, I called on Prof. Louis Agassiz to request him to listen to some preliminary statement, and to examine certain papers and diagrams in relation to the new science. He had been aware, in part, for some years of the nature of my pursuits, and on other but related subjects had taken a very kindly interest in my labors. On this occasion he listened just long enough to ascertain the nature of my request and claims, when he declined to enter upon the subject any farther, saying in substance as follows: I believe in the existence, in the nature of things, of just such a science as you claim to have discovered; and in this I differ from most scientific mer> who seem as yet to have no conception of Unity of Law, and who would therefore regard your whole pretension as Utopian. Farther than this, I believe, that we are, just in this age, on the verge of making the discovery : and that somebody will make it. Whether you have it, or not, I am, of course, unable to say. The presumption is strongly against any individual claimant. To 8 INTKODUCTION. would, as a class, have been the last persons, to comprehend or approve of a scheme for navigating the ocean by steam. When, for example, Universol- ogy shall be found to affirm that there are at least strong scientific presumptions and potent scientific determine the point would require extensive and critical examina- tion. That I am not prepared to give, — or, rather, not until your book is fairly printed and laid before me in that shape. Nor do I know that I am competent, or any more competent than any intel- ligent man, to judge of it. Indeed, I doubt, whether, if you have all you claim, the Scientific men, so-called, will be the first to ap- preciate it. We are, he added, all intense specialists, and when the Unitary Science comes in the world, it will be something so entirely aside from our fixed habits of thought that I think it will find its first appreciators, probably, among men of enlarged and general culture, rather than among Specialists in Science. What, then, I asked, am I to do ? Is there no presiding Scientific body competent and prepared to render a verdict on my labors ? What of the French Academy ? To these questions he replied : If you have what you think you have, God help you ! You must work along as Christ did, and find, first, one disciple here and one there, from all classes; from, most likely, what scientific men would call ' the common people ! ' There is no body of Scientific men on earth competent or ready to enter upon such an investiga- tion, and as to the French Academy, they have had a by-law stand- i:i^ for forty years which would prohibit them from even enter- taining the consideration of the subject. We are, he repeated, all intense specialists. My own son is laboring somewhat in your direction, [the Mathematics of Zoology, a preeminent branch of Universological Science], and I decline even to look at his diagrams. I confine myself to the merely Observational study of a small branch of zoology, and have more than I can possibly do. You will find all the rest of us [Specialists] in the same fix, and the most difficult people in the world to call off to look at any thing new, and not of our specialty. There, ho INTRODUCTION. 9 reasons for believing that 64 is a Typical Number, by which the distribution of Chemical Elements, along with that of many other things, has been regulated by Nature, and that probably the final number of Elements will not deviate greatly from this scale, the rigid inductionist will be prone to confound the statement, at once, with the rhapsodic guess of the early and ignorant speculator who should have as- sumed that there must be 24 elements because there are 24 hours in a day (9) ; and, if induced to examine the grounds of the new statement until otherwise he might concede its probability, he falls upon an- other objection, namely, that the number of elements even now known is not exactly 64, but is only 63, or is already 67, or some other proximate number. To this the Universological answer is, that, the Law in Concrete Spheres, like this, is Prox- imate Accuracy, and that Absolute Accuracy belongs only to Abstract Spheres; that there is in Nature, OVERLAPPING, MARGINAL IMPERFECTION (See " Basic Outline ") and other modifying Principles which it is, in part, the business of Universology to point out ; so that the very terms of the question can only be added, is where we are ; we may all go to the bad place for it ; but there is just where we are. Of course, Prof. Agassiz, in what he said of himself was true only in respect to the Jidbit of his life, and not at all so in respect to the caliber of his mind, or the broader impulsions of his taste even. His strong drift towards Generality and Universality of thought is attested by his writings despite of his conscientious fidelity to the smaller sphere. S. P. A. 10 INTRODUCTION. properly understood by a preliminary study of Uni- versology itself. In a word, in such a sphere, math- ematical exactitude would refute rather than confirm the claims of the New Science, so that, in such a realm, nearly, about, proximately, etc., are legitimate Scientific expressions. No Classification in Natural Science is or can be exact, for the reason that Nature is only proximately mathematical. It is only by " squeez- ing " and " stretching " that she can be packed like herrings in a box, within the theoretical exactitudes of adjustment. Still other objections will arise, and to meet these, other answers must be extracted from the bowels of the New Science itself. 13. I will illustrate, a little further, the liabilities of the ordinary scientist to mistake, in judging of Analogical Science. An arrangement occurs, in Universology, of the Chemical Elements, by which the Non-Metals are recognized as generwdtty Light, Upward-tending, Aerial, and Diaphanous, and as, in that sense, allied (not in any known Chemical sense, but in a new sense not heretofore observed), with the Atmosphere above the surface of the Earth, and so with the " Face of Day," or with the Main Elevation and Front aspect of the Great World-Cathedral, the Dome-of-Earth-and-Heaven, and typically, or repre- sentatively, therefore, with the Frontal Elevation of any House, Edifice, or Tent pie : and the Metals are recog- nized, on the contrary, as generically Heavy, Dark- ling, Obscure, or Downward-tending, or Earthly, in the same Analogical Sense, and so, in tlml sv//.sv, as allied with the Subterranean and otherwise Obscure INTRODUCTION. 11 Position in Space, or with the Foundation-and-Back or the Remote Depths of an Edifice— the Metals being therefore more numerous than the Non-Metals in the general proportion of 3 to 1, or of a duplica- tion both downward and backward. 14 Further, it is observed, that the Non-Metals, Aerial, Upward-and- Front-wise-tending, or, as it were, visibly presentative, are generically Electro-Negative, or allied with the Lightning, the Grand Type, and, as it were, Fountain, of Electricity in the Cosmos, and with its Aerial Position overhead, or above ; and Electro-Negative because they are so allied, since things are not attracted to the Pole of Being which is identical with their own nature ; they, therefore, being of the nature of the Lightning and of the Light (or Front-Presence) are attracted to the Metals, which are of the nature of the Earth beneath, and of Obscurity, or of that region of the Edifice (or of the Human Body, to which the Edifice is an Ad- justment) which is posited doivmvard and behind. On the contrary, the Metals, being " of the Earth, earthy," are, for thai reason, Electro-Positive, or capable of attracting the Lightning, and of being attracted by it. 15. To represent these Great New Aspects of Science, which, it will be subsequently found, conduct to a thousand important Scientific consequences as remote from this beginning as the Electric Telegraph from Franklin's Kite, and yet as logically connected with it, the Architectural Figure or Diagram of an Edifice is presented — not merely as a bauble, nor 12 INTRODUCTION. even as a Mnemonic aid, (though of infinite im- portance in this respect to furnish, educationally, a rapid preliminary understanding of Chemical Facts and Laws) but as a profoundly true Scientific Analogue. The Front Elevation of this Edifice is assigned to a significant Grouping of the Non-Metal- lic Substances of Chemistry, in which many minor Analogies are embodied ; and the Foundations and Back-lying portions of the Building are assigned to the more numerous Metals, according to their relative degrees of prominence (or Frontness), or of Obscur- ity (or Downness and Backness). Finally, the Ana- logical Relationship of the Lightning and the Earth to the Electro-Negative and Electro -Positive Char- acters of the Elements is symbolically exhibited in the Diagram, by the Lightning-Flash, painted or drawn as striking the Top-and -Front of the Edifice, and as penetrating it, and passing down and losing itself, by satisfying its attraction, in the Metallic Fundamenta and Posterior portions of the object visited. 16. This Symbolic Edifice or Temple of the Ele- ments is then presented, we will assume, to learned Specialists of the Old or Duismal Order of Science for their judgment and appreciation. But it is highly probable that they will perceive absolutely nothing of the great leading ideas which the Temple is in- tended to exemplify. They will very likely fasten, instead, their microscopic vision upon certain details in the grouping of the Elements. They may, per- chance, find that exact ratios have been theoretically INTRODUCTION. 13 assigned where their experience has taught them that the limits of classes are inexact or variant — a fact which Universology not only points out but ac- counts for, (as they are unable to do), if they would be patient to study it ; but they have no patience for such novelties. This first apparent discrepancy with what they already know is enough for them, and with, perhaps, five minutes examination of a great new subject, and Method, in science, they de- cide adversely ; and imagine they have investigated it, and that their opinions should be the guide of others who have not done so. 17. The fact is, that, for the true appreciation, or, with many, for any appreciation whatever, of Scien- tific Analogy, a special training of a set of mental faculties previously neglected is requisite, as much so as when we would develop the Musical Ear, or the Artistic Eye ; and the ordinary training of the Spe- cialists in Science is adverse rather than favorable to the ready acquisition of this new kind of knowledge. This order of men, eminently respectable in their own sphere, will have to be induced by various means, some of them, perhaps, somewhat stringently coerced, into a respectful deference for the subject to be studied, When, however, they shall have ac- quired the new point of view and the requisite new habits of thought, and shall have become truly pos- sessed of the facts and principles of the New Science, their old and present habits of exactitude and pre- cision will supervene, and will be invaluable as aids to their own better understanding of the subject, and 14 INTRODUCTION. for the detailed and elaborate expansion of Univer- sologj itself. At present they are apt to be content with" their accumulation of mere facts, or with at the most some most convenient classification of the facts. They rarely inquire into what Richard Owen calls the Meaning of the Facts. For example, they under- stand by Electro-Negative, that a Substance watched in the processes of the Laboratory comports itself in a particular manner ; that is to say, that, it passes, in the Electro-Magnetic Bath, to the Positive Pole of the Battery ; and by Electro-Positive they under- stand the opposite occurrence ; but ask them why this is so, and they have not even a theory upon the subject. If told that this is because Electro-Negative bodies are of a similar kind as, or are, so to speak, sympathetic with, the Lightning, and the Air, and the Light, with the Front-Face and Elevation of an Edi- fice, and with the Face and Brow of a Man, and so with Heaven and the elevated region of the Sun, and that, for that reason, they comport themselves like the Lightning ; and that Electro-Positive Bodies are, on the contrary, sympathetic with the Earth and the Darkness, and with the Lower and Posterior portions of a House or a Man, and so with Hell-ward Direc- tion or the Antipodes, and the Earth's shadow, all this would be to talk to them in an unknown tongue ; or, at least, it would be mere poetry and imagination ; and yet Science has now to rise to this new range of considerations, and they will, in the end, transcend infinitely in importance all that Science now means, and Avill bind every variety of knowledge, from that INTRODUCTION. 15 of the Hysop on the wall, up to that of the being and nature of God, into one compact and organic whole. 18. Universology, for the reasons above stated, de- clines the jurisdiction of the technically so called learned or Scientific world as a special body of judges, and comes for understanding and apprecia- tion to the general mind of humanity, learned and unlearned alike, according to inherent capacity. It will rather arraign and judge the scientific world than submit to be judged by it. It is always well to remember that " NEW THINGS ARE NEW," and that they must be comprehended, before they can be intelligibly or usefully criticised.1 1 Since writing the last preceding few paragraphs (and some of the preceding ones of similar tenor) I have received so much genuine courtesy from representative men in the scientific world, and my incipient exposition of the claims and principles of Uni- versology have been accepted by them so cordially and in so cath- olic a spirit, that I have been greatly tempted to expunge this criticism upon the scientific position and tendencies of Specialists ; but, on further reflection, and recurring to the larger scope of facts, as well as to the principles themselves upon which this judgment is pronounced, I conclude to let it remain as written, holding the conviction that it will find a sufficiently extended field of applica- tion. If some eminent men are more liberal, it is because they are ceasing to be mere specialists, and are rapidly tending, themselves, towards a true Universological expansion. s. P. A. CHAPTER I PRELIMINARY! DISCRIMINATIONS AND DEFINITIONS. - OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. 19. There is in the Greek language the word Logos, which meant primarily the same among the Greeks as Word means in English. It occurs in the beginning of the Gospel of St. John, and is there translated by "The Word." " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." But Logos also meant, at times, Dis- course or Language, and so, indeed, does the English Word, as when we call the Scriptures " the Word of God." Logos also signified more distinctively the meaning of the word, and thence, also, the underlying MEANING of Discourse, and thence, again, Reason or Reasoning, so that Logic which is the Science of the Reasoning Process, and, in the larger sense, Intrinsic Laiv, in the nature of things, is itself immediately de- rived from Logos. It is indeed in this sense, that of The Absolute and Pure Reason, that the Logos is said by the Evangelist to be equal with God, and to be, indeed, the Very God. (199, 215, 216.) 20. This same Greek word Logos has also been affixed or added to many other words as an Ending 18 LOGOS AND ITS DERIVATIVES. * or Termination, in English and several other lan- guages, to mean Science, in the sense of a Discourse or Treatise about the subject named by the root- word to which it is so added. Geology, for instance, is derived from the Greek word ge, meaning THE EARTH, and Logos, and means therefore a Discourse about the Earth, as Geography means a writing about the Earth, from the same ge and graphein, TO WRITE. Numerous similar derivatives will imme- diately occur to the mind, without specification. (The g of ge was originally hard as in the English go, but has been softened by usage in English to the sound of./)- 21. It will be noticed that Ge and Logos would, alone, make Ge-logy and not Ge-o-logy. The o at the middle of the word is introduced for the sake of euphony merely, or to make the sound of the word more agreeable, and is denominated in the technical- ity of Etymology, the connecting-vowel. These de- tails belong to the process of word-building which will receive a new and remarkable expansion in im- mediate connection with this new Science of the Universe, and, in part, further on in the present work. 22. While a Science is thus named etymologically as a Discourse about some given subject, and while it is really that, it is still something more than a mere Discourse. It is not every discourse, or every kind of talk about a subject, which is the Science of that subject. The Science of a Subject, or of any Domain or Department of Being is, on the contrary, DOMAINS OF EXISTENCE. 19 a Systematic, Orderly, and somewhat Complete Ar- rangement of what is certainly knoivn or held to be knotvn, and of wliat is important to be knoivn, in re- spect to the particular subject or Department of Being treated of. It is so, that the Animal Kingdom, for example, furnishes, as a subject or Domain of Being, the Science which is called Zoology (Gr. zoe, LIFE, and logos, DISCOURSE). Zoology is therefore a regular and systematized treatment or exposition of the knowledge which has been acquired in respect to animals, as a Domain of Observation and Thought. It is the same in respect to other Sciences relating to other Domains. 23. It will be understood from the preceding para- graph what is meant by a Domain of Existence, or of Being, or of the Universe, or of Observation and Thought ; (for all of these terms will occur, from time to time, as substantially synonymous). The Animals are such a Domain, the Science of which is Zoology or Animalogy. Plants (Trees, etc.) are an- other such Domain, the Science of which is Botany or Vegetalogy. Form is such a Domain, the Science of which is Morphology (Gr. morplie, EOKM). Number is such a Domain, the Science of which is Abstract Mathematics or Numerology, (Arithmetic, Algebra, etc.). 24. Domains of Being are larger or smaller in ex- tent ; from the Universe itself, which is collectively no other than such a Domain, down to the smallest sphere or Realm which it may be practically proper to recognize as worthy to be the subject of a distinct 20 BRANCHINGS OF THE UNIVERSE. Science. The largest Domain of Being, which is the Universe itself, first splits up into a group of sub- ordinate but yet immensely extended Domains, which furnish Grand or Collective Sciences corres- ponding to them ; these split up, in turn, into Groups of smaller, and then of still smaller Domains, down to those requisite degrees of minuteness which furnish the limits of the ordinary special Sciences, and down to the Branches or Departments of these Special Sciences ; so that the Universe itself, with all its sub- ordinate Departments of Being is, theoretically, subject to a grand System of Distribution and Classification, similar in principle to that by ivhich a Particular Do- main, the Animal Kingdom, for example, is scientifically distributed and classified or arranged. 25. Any single thing, or collection of things, or objects, or ideas whatsoever, is a Domain, it may be a very small and comparatively insignificant one, of Universal Being. A bureau or a table, or better let us say, all bureaus or all tables, collectively, are, in each case, such a Domain ; and by affixing the termi- nation -logy, or the English -lore, cognate with the German -lehre actually used for this purpose, we might say, Bureau-ology or Bureau-lore or Tabul- ology or Table-lore, for the names of such Sciences. There are, however, several objections to this proce- dure. The first is to what is called Lingual Hybridity, which is the combining of words derived from dif- ferent languages somewhat like the crossing of breeds and species among animals. Another is th.it these particular applications of the Principle of UNIVERSOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION. 21 Word-Building are unusual, and therefore sound bar- barous to our ears. Hence they are technically called Barbarisms. But the main objection, and the only one really important, is that already intimated, namely, that these are unimportant Domains, not sufficient to sustain the dignity of an independent Science. The supposed cases will serve however to illustrate the manner in which Scientific men have devised names for new Sciences, or in which such namings spontaneously spring up amidst the usages of the Scientific World and gradually pass into the common body of Language. 26. It will appear from the preceding explanation that it is an important, and, at the same time, a diffi- cult thing, to determine just what and how many sciences there should be recognized or held to exist. It is much like the question of how many colors there are, when in point of fact, colors are either very few, as Three, or Seven, or perhaps Twelve, as somewhat primary, or else infinitely numerous, ac- cording to the generality or the minuteness of our discriminations. The actual origin of New Sciences, or their recognition as such, has been, heretofore, pretty nearly left to chance ; but various attempts have been made, since the incipiency of such effort with Aristotle among the Greeks, to enumerate and distribute or classify the Sciences. Bacon, D'Alem- bert, Auguste Cornte, Ampere, Herbert Spencer and others, have been engaged in this important under- taking, the difficulty of which has hitherto prevented it f L'orn having been fully and satisfactorily accomplished. 22 A SCIENCE OF THE UNIVERSE. 27. It has not, perhaps, been clearly seen, that, to classify the Sciences is to classify the Domains of Universal Being to which the Sciences relate, and hence to classify the Universe, or, at all events, that portion of it which is systematically known to us ; and that a true and exhaustive classification of the Sciences would be no less than, in a sense at least, a Science of the Universe itself. The difficulty of the undertaking is, therefore, such, that we need not be surprised that it should have achieved no more than a partial success. It is true, however, that a proper Science of the Universe is still far more than a mere classification of the Sciences, since its Principles must enter into the body of each of the Special Sciences and classify also all the details and particulars with- in them all. 28. It results, from what has been previously shown, that just as truly as there may be, and as there are, Sciences of various special parts or Do- mains of the Universe, so there may be and indeed should be wrought out and systematically exhibited, a Science of the Universe itself, as the One, Grand, All-inclusive Domain. Such a Science ivould then le rightly denominated UNIVERSOLOGY. Our knowledge of the parts of a subject can only be fragmentary and very imperfect so long as we have not some sys- tematic knowledge of the whole subject, and, thereby, of the relation of the parts to each other and to the grand whole. 29. To the possibility of the existence of an actual and valid Science of the Universe several objections OBJECTION ANSWERED. 23 naturally arise, which it will be appropriate, at this point, to consider and remove. 30. It is first objected that the achievement of the discovery of such a Science must be impossible on account of the infinite extent of the Subject or Do- main. It is obviously impossible, it is said, that any one individual, or even all the individuals of any one age of the world, should know the whole Universe, in detail. How then can any one claim to possess a Science of the Universe ? The claim is preposterous, it is sometimes added, and no one but God can be presumed to have, or can be conceived of, even, as having such knowledge. 31. This objection is at first view plausible, but it is unsound, and leads to a too broad denial of the human capacity. We do not know in detail the par- ticulars of even the smallest of our Sciences. Icthy- ology is a branch of Animalogy, confined to the study of the fishes; but no Icthyologist is for a moment supposed to have become acquainted with, so to speak, the individual history of every particular fish, and not only of those now in life but of every fish that ever did live or ever will live ; and yet such a supposition would only parallel what is assumed, in this objection, as necessary with reference to the pos- sibility of a Universal Science. 32. What the Icthyologist does is to discover and systematize the General Principles, carried into a convenient degree of detail, of Fish nature. What the Universologist has to do is no more than this in respect to the larger subject. He has to discover 24 HOW THE UNIVEBSE IS KNOWABLE. and systematize the General Principles of Universal Being, carrying their application, in turn, into no more than the appropriate degree of minuteness in Branching and Distribution. It is not the Univer- sality of Fads (which are indeed infinitely numerous), but the Universality of Principles which are infinitely unific or simple, which has to be discovered and ex- hibited. 33. There is a sense, then, in which a knowledge of the whole Universe is impossible to any finite in- telligence ; but there is also another sense in which such knowledge is possible. We cannot know the Universe in detail, but there is no reason why we may not know it in respect to the universality of its Laws, if we can be so fortunate as to discover Laws which are Universal, as well as exhaustive (that is to say exclusive of the possibility of any other Laws) ; and which shall be absolutely 'known to be such, because they are of such a nature, that, when discovered and clearly propounded and apprehended, it becomes im- possible to conceive of them as otherwise than as True, Universal, and Exhaustive. 34. It is in a manner similar to this that a True Universal Alphabet would apply to the spelling of the words of all languages ; because so long as men's mouths are formed according to the fixed type of the human mouth, (as we know it to be), they produce a certain few Elementary Sounds (and only these), which are then constantly repeated, in new combinations, ia all that men ever say or can MU/. It is, also, in a similar manner, that employing so few THE MASTERY THROUGH SCIENCE. 25 signs as 9 digits and zero, we can write all possible numbers ; and that we can know positively that we have the means at command by which we can write new combinations of numbers so soon as they shall occur to us, although previously we may never have thought of those particular combinations as possible numbers. We have thus, in a sense, a mastery, through Science, over immense, even over Infinite Domains of details, with which, as details, we are entirely unacquainted. This is the Inherent, Infinite Power and True Glory of Science, and of the unmade Principles of Being as contrasted with mere Facts (res gestce or things made or done). This is what Science can do, and this is the mode in which it transcends all ordinary ex- perience and common knowledge, and even that which is extraordinary, whether intuitional, inspi- rational, or otherwise. 35. Science is thus the Systematized Knowledge of Principles out of which arises a Method for their application in new spheres ; spheres of human inter- vention which can then be rigorously modeled upon the application which Nature is spontaneously mak- ing of the same Principles in advance of their dis- covery by man. The Multiplication Table is another instance of such systematized knowledge furnishing a basis and Method for the whole infinitude of prac- tical mathematical operations. It gives a scientific mastery over the infinite world of numerical conibi- t/ nations, within its scope, like that which the Scientific Universal Alphabet will give over the representation of all languages ; like that which the digits and zero 2 tt A SECOND OBJECTION. give over the mer ? notation of numbers ; and like that, in fine, which the discovery of Universal Scien- tific Laws is competent to give to the human race over every department of knowledge and affairs. 36. It is, in the next place, objected, that, admitting a Science of the Universe to be, in itself, possible, the time has not yet arrived for it to be realized ; that we can only look for its realization after the Special Sciences shall have been much more numerously and extensively developed ; when, in other words, the human race shall have gone over the Universe much more in detail than it has yet been able to do. This objection has also a plausible face, but it is alike un- tenable. It is indeed true, however, that, if the method of arriving at the discovery of Universal Laws were alone or chiefly through the necessary previous exhaustion of the details, such conditions would then be requisite. But the new objection is only the former one re-stated, and it meets with the same answer. The method of discovery is different from that which the objector contemplates. As it is not the detailed Facts of Being, but, on the contrary, Universal Principles, which are to be discovered, so also, the method of discovery is not through the in- finite accumulation of details, but by Intellectual Analysis, and, so to speak, by Striking at Centres. 37. Technically speaking it is not through OBSER- VATIONAL GENERALIZATIONS, but through ANALYTICAL GENERALIZATIONS, that the discovery has to be made. (B. O. t. 1012.) Do not be alarmed by these hard terms. They express simple ideas. By Obst.rva- TWO KINDS OF GENERALIZATIONS. 27 tional Generalization is meant a method which goes around a whole subject, striving to embrace it ; as it were, in the arms. By Analytical Generalization the opposite method is intended, that of piercing di- rectly to the centre, as by the vision of a sharp eye, or the blade of a cutting instrument. If a child has an apple and wishes to find what is at the middle of it, he may cut continually around it, on all sides, gradually reducing it in size, and arriving at the core only by this tedious and exhaustive process ; or, if he have acquired the necessary strength and skill in the use of his knife, he may, at a single cut, lay open the apple to the centre, and begin his future observations from the core of the subject. The Uni- verse is our apple, the knife in the hand of a child is Scientific Procedure or Method, the gradual paring away process is Inductive, Observational, or Encyclo- pedic Generalization. The cut to the centre is Ana- lytical Generalization. 38. It is by this latter method, that Universality of Knowledge, of the kind which is possible, may for- tunately be acquired at a comparatively early period in the development of the career of our particular knowledge, and may be, thenceforward, the grand weapon to be employed in the conquest of the de- tails, outward upon every radius, from the centre of knowledge so attained to. The discovery of the Multiplication Table, of an Alphabet, and of Numer- ical Notation, though they had to be preceded by more embryonic stages of development tending to produce them, were not themselves the culmination 28 A THIRD OBJECTION. or finality of Science in their several Spheres, but the births of those Sciences or Branches of Knowl- edge. The discovery of Universology is, in like manner, the birth of Science, itself, considered as a con- stituted and living whole. The Special Sciences, as heretofore studied and developed, have been the Limbs and Members of the unformed or as yet un- born infant, not therefore mutually recognizing each other as corresponding parts of a larger Organisnms. 39. It may be again objected, that, admitting the possibility of the Universal Science, and that a shorter method may exist for its discovery than that of compassing all possible details, yet, that, at least, it must be necessary to be familiar with the known details of all the existing Sciences, in order either to discover the Unitary Science, or to be competent to comprehend it and to judge of it when discovered. 40. This is still only another form of the same objection. The supposed immense accumulation of the details of Observational Knowledge is not indis- pensable either to the learner or teacher of the new Science, and only in a modified sense even to the discoverer of it. Universology is an Independent Science, which stands upon its own basis, and no more needs an extended acquaintance with the par- ticulars of other Sciences, except for the greater richness of suggestion and illustration, than Geom- etry or Chemistry. The Special Sciences, with all their details, collectively form, indeed, the Infinite Domain within which Universology will find per- petually new applications ; but the Elements of the THE QUESTION OF FACT. 29 New Science are more independent of anything ex- traneous than those of any other Science, if we except 'Logic and the Mathematics. 41. But the4 question of the possibility of the dis- covery of a New Universal Science may as well now give place to the question of fact. Such a Science claims to exist ; and what is possible will best be understood by some exposition of what is. Even here we are met by immense difficulties in respect to the mere method of presentation. If a lecturer were endeavoring to give an idea of America, in a single lecture, to the inhabitants of another country entire- ly ignorant of this, he would be embarrassed by the largeness of the subject. If he dwelt on the immense extent of the country, its various climates, its huge rivers, lakes and mountains, he would be carrying the mind of his hearers away from ah1 comparison with the familiar neighborhood experiences of their own home lives ; from that in which, probably, they would be most particularly interested. If, on the contrary, to overcome this difficulty, he should con- form to their habits of thought, and sketch neigh- borhood life in America at some point as nearly re- sembling their own as might be, he might accomplish his last purpose, but he would fail to give any ade- quate idea of America in those aspects in which it especially differs from all other countries. 42. The Universe, as the Domain and Subject of a New Science, is an infinitely larger field of novelty and variety; and it is less easy to condense it into a single volume, than it is to treat adequately of 30 WHAT IS ATTEMPTED. America, in a single lecture ; and in respect to the method of communicating the requisite knowledge of it, the difficulty is of a similar kind. To be too general is to fail to interest ; to be too special is to fail to teach Universology in its distinctive difference from all other Sciences. 43. In the following Chapters an effort will be made to give some idea of the New Science, without, so far as it may be avoided, incurring either of these causes of failure. It is only, however, by repeated presentations and more and more expanded elabora- tions of the subject, that any complete exposition of it, even in its Elementary Form, can be accomplished. CHAPTER II. PRIMAEY DISTRIBUTION OF THE UNIVERSE. 44. The Universe divides primarily into 1. a DO- MAIN or NATURE, 2. a DOMAIN OF SCIENCE, and 3. a DOMAIN OF ART. These are not different Realms ex- isting entirely apart from each other, bnt, are, on the contrary, closely inter-blended throughout. They are, therefore, only drawn asunder, in part, and enough for practical distinction, by an effort of Abstraction, in the Mind. 45. The word-termination -ismus is used to denote a Realm or Domain of Being. These Three Domains are therefore, 1. THE NATURISMUS, 2. THE SCEENTIS- MUS, and 3. THE ARTISMUS, of Being. 46. There are, likewise, as previously shown (2). THREE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES, which underlie the Universe, and regulate the distribution of ah1 things. These are called, in Universological Technicality, UNISM, DUISM, and TEINISM, and are related to the numbers ONE, Two, and THREE, respectively, (Latin, Units , Duo, Tres, ONE, Two, THREE.) 47. Unism, Duism and Trinism correspond with, or echo to, Nature, Science and Art, respectively, so that 32 NATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART. Nature is Unismal, Science Duismal, and Art Trinismal, in character and degree. 48. But how can it be demonstrated that among the thousand similar distributions which are possible, Nature, Science and Art are the most appropriate to be regarded as the practically Primitive, and All- inclusive, Aspects, of the Universe of Being ? 49. The assumption that this is true will be suf- ficiently proven or sustained by the following con- siderations : Nature is the Substance or Subject-Matter treated of by Science. Science is the Systematized Knowledge which the Human Mind attains to, of Nature, the Form, in other words, which Nature, as a Substance, assumes under the Reflective Action of the thinking mind ; and Art is the same primitive Nature or Substance, externally or actually reacted upon, sub- sequently to reflection, AND RE-IMPRESSED BY Science ; or it is the Mental or Ideal Form, reproduced in Nature, from and by the Mind. It is, therefore, the result of Mind working upon Nature ; or the Progeny begotten of Nature, as Feminine, by Science or the Thinking Mind, as Masculine or Male. 50. But all manifestations of Intelligence or of Quasi-Intelligence, even those witnessed in Nature, are the, at least, apparent, result of Mind, which, therefore, when it thus occurs independently of Man, is attri- buted to God, and assimilated to our own conscious action on Nature, which is Art. All Evolution, Move- ment, or On-going in Nature, is such manifestation of Qtfasi-Intelligence, and is, therefore, also Art ; or may, in other words, be properly embraced in the <\r- SUBSTANCE, FORM, AND MOVEMENT. 33 tremest largeness of meaning which we can assign to the word Art. In this sense, Art is equivalent to Move- ment, Manifestation, Modification, Modulation, in a word, to all Creation and Evolution, in the Universe at large. Nature furnishes the Materials or Substance, Science BEING, (or ACCORDING WITH), the Form or Law impressed upon the Substance, in the Operation or Result, or in the Movement and Evolution, which are here, by an unusual extension, it is true, of the mean- ing of that term, denominated Art. All Art is re- presentation^ or a new presentation of Matter in a form prescribed by Mind. Art is, therefore, also denom- inated Creation. 51. Nature, Science and Art are, therefore, in the extended meanings which are here assigned to them, as if we should say, more abstractly, 1. SUBSTANCE, 2. FORM, and 3. MOVEMENT ; or, still more metaphys- ically, 1. The Noumena, 2. The Phenomena, and 3. The Compoundness and Coaction of these two in the Totality of Being. 52. But Nature, Science and Art, while echoing to or corresponding with Substance, Form and Move- ment, are more ostensible and real Departments of Being. As here meant, they go back to the Primitive or Etymological Meanings of these Words, Substance and Form. Substance is from the Latin sub, UNDER, and stans, STANDING, (from stare, TO STAND), as it were & foundation standing under a house, and as, figura- tively, the Substance of Things stands under or under- lies the Appearance or Form. Form is the Latin Forma, and this Abstract Noun I regard as originally 34 STOEIES OF THE TEMPLE. Fem-ma, from ferre, TO BEAR and UPHOLD, as the House is upborne or upheld by its Foundation ; and as Form is figuratively upheld and manifested or made into Phenomena by Substance or Noumenon. Substance-and-Forra then combine to make the To- tality and Proceedent Existence of Things ; and so of Thing Universal : or of the Universe. 53. Nature, Science and Art, as Substance, Form and Movement, are, therefore, like 1. The Foundation, 2. The Superstructure, and 3. The Use or Occupancy (lapping back upon and including its construction) of an Edifice. The Universe is that Edifice, in its Integrality, or in the Unity of these Three Consti- tuent Aspects, Entities or Terms. The Universe is, therefore, primarily and necessarily a Tri-Unity, of which Nature, Science and Art are the Three Grand Factors, Stages, or Determinate Particulars; which was the point to be established. We proceed in thought from the Foundation of the Edifice upward to the Dome or Apex; as ike Natural or Primitive Order of our thoughts on the subject ; which, sub- sequently, we reverse, or " invert " in descending. This procedure of the thought may be contracted to the conception of a mere line, and the successive Stories or Stages of the Edifice may be represented to the imagination along this line. 54. As every Line and every Career, that of Uni- versal Evolution as well, has, in our ordinary concep- tion, a Beginning, a Middle and an End, so, if a Line, as the First Type of Procedure or On-Going, be as- sumed in Abstract Thought, and be made to occupy INTERPUNCT; OR INTERPOSED POINT. 35 ~a the Perpendicular, which is the First Normal Posture or Position ; and if we proceed, in our thoughts, from Below, Upward, which is the First or Normal Drift of Direction, or the Natural Order; this Thought-Line will have, First, a Foundation or Lowest Point or Basis, the point upon which it rests, the Analogue of Nature ; and Second, an Upper Portion, the Ferrima or Form, the Line per se, the Analogue of Science. "We might then add the upper end or superior point of the Line as the Third Step, as the Analogue of Art ; in accordance with the Axiom, Finis coronat opus (the end crowns the work) ; but this Upper End, the Head of the Column or Line, is also the Basis of the In- verted Procedure, when the thought begins to de- scend ; for, analogically, Ideal and Spiritual Founda- tions are above. Confining ourselves, on the contrary, to the Ascending Drift of Thought, there is, as it were, a Finer Interposed Point, a Point of Unition and Conjunction between the Basis-Point of the Line and the Ferrima ; between Nature and Science ; between Foundation and Superstructure ; which In- terposed Point may be also taken as the Analogue of Life and Movement, and hence also of Art — the germinating Punctum Vitce or Point of Life ; pivot- ally situated, as it were, between the other two stages and forms of development. To change the figure from Edifice and Line to the Plant or Tree, the Point in question is the Germinal Point, within the Seed, as the Analogue of Art, or of Vital Movement, within the Plant ; and, as it were, between the Seed and Hoot, extending downward or beneath the Earth's 36 BASE, SUPEHINCUMBING, INTEKPUNCT. level, the Analogue of the Foundation of the Build- ing, and the Plumule or Ascending Sprout, \he Ana- logue of the Superstructure. The Punctum Vitce of the Edifice is the Altar or Fireplace, the Focus, which is the Latin word for Fireplace. This is reached by the Doorway or Entrance, which, situated at the Earth's level, is externally representative of this in- terposed point of Vitality and Movement. The whole Figure, compounded of the Point and Line, thus vitally and centrally conjoined by an Interposed Vital Point, is the Inverted Man-shaped Figure or Anthropoidule. (B. O. t. 881.). 55. Foundation, Super incumbency, and their Copula- tion, Interaction, or Interrelation, these Three combined in a Totality and repeated in the Product, are, there- fore, the Primal and Universal Type of All Being. It is this Primitive Distribution which is here gen- eralized and formulated under the terms, NATURE, SCIENCE, and ART, as the Constituent Aspects or Do- mains of Universal Being and Evolution. They are not, therefore, merely Facts of Observation, but Es- sentially Necessary and Primitive Discriminations. 56. Nature is Feminine, the Mother Principle, the teeming Womb or Matrix of Being. Science, identi- fied with Law, with Abstract Thought, with Form, with Phenomena, with the Bays of Light, with Re- flection, and so with Universal Intelligence or Mind, with Man Male, and with God, the Paternal or Im- pregnating Principle, is Masculine ; Art, echoing to the Sexes in their mutual embrace, Interpenetration, Correlative Impregnation, and Conception, and the NATUROLOGY; SCIENTOLOGY; ARTOLOGY. Renewed Being as Progeny or Product, is Andro- gyne. 57. NATUROLOGY is that Branch or Aspect of Uni- versology in which the Universe is cousidered and treated, in a preliminary and somewhat inexact way, from the Observation of Fads and the Empirical As- sumption of Method ; and not from reference to any previous demonstration of Governing Principles ; in which, in other words, it is considered and treated in the merely Observational Spirit, or, what is the same thing, in the spirit of the Natural Sciences. 58. SCIENTOLOGY, is, on the contrary, that Branch or Aspect of Univer'sology in which the Universe is considered and treated as consecutively and logically evolved from the Three Abstract Universal Principles above specified (2, 45), related to the Three Primary Numbers. It is, in other words, the Logical and Mathematical Evolution of Being universally, from the Primordial Categories or Basis-Thoughts of Being. Scientology is therefore Universology devel- oped in the spirit of the Exact Sciences, and is wholly new in kind. It is the Core or Centre and the most distinctive Department of Universology, that in which the discovery of this New Universal Science mainly consists ; but it is proportionally less popular, in character, and more remote from old and existing scientific ideas. 59. ARTOLOGY is that Branch or Aspect of the Science of the Universe in which the somewhat popular truths of Naturology and the new and more metaphysical truths of Scientology are, as it were, 38 SCIENTOLOGICAL EXACTIFICATION. translated or modulated into each other, or, in other words, reconciled and married in the Elaborated and Completed Grand Cosmos or Total Universe of Being. There is, therefore, in this Department, Com- promise, Concession, or, in a word, AUTISTIC MODIFI- CATION. (B. O. t. 515.) Art is not so much the Art- products, or Objects of Art in themselves, although they are representative, but these Art-products in the act of being produced ; whence it is Evolution or Movement, or, in other words, Creation in Progress or Procedure — what the Philosophers have technically denominated " The Becoming." 60. Scientology is new, and remote from the popu- lar apprehension, alike of the learned and unlearned world. Artology, depending, as it does, for one of its factors, upon Scientology, is, Consequently, also new. Nat-urology, atone, answers to the whole scope of the Sciences as they have hitherto been cultivated and developed, and furnishes, therefore, the NATURAL Sams of the New Science. This, while it is, in a sense, popular, and closely related to the Natural S'ia/ce* as they are already studied and understood in the world, still, is not, in its Universological sense, mervhj the Aggregate of those Sciences, as they noiv stand in t]& minds of the Learned. It is, on the contrary, the whole body of those Sciences as re-cast and re-consti- tuted, Universologically, and by a Reflect of Exac tin- cation cast from Scientology, (the Sun and Centre of Universology), upon this Primitive and naturally In- exact Domain. The method, even here, is Analogical) and the result is to unify these primitive and fragment- INHERENT NECESSITY. 89 ary Sciences by bringing them under the operation of that Identity of Laiv which is demonstrated and ex- pressly elaborated in the Scientological Branch of Universology. 61. Naturology, as a Branch of Universology, is, therefore, Transcendental, in comparison with the frag- mentary state of the Special Sciences, as these have been hitherto developed ; but, on the other hand, in a general and popular sense, Naturology may be held to include also the existing Special Sciences in their actual state. 62. Any particular Domain of the Universe, or of any of these Three Primitive Grand Domains (Nature, Science, and Art), as, for instance, the Vegetable Kingdom, the Animal Kingdom, the Human Body, or the Human Mind, segregated and considered as a whole, is a Minor Universe ; and may, therefore, or indeed must, naturally, be distributed, in the first in- stance, into a Naturismus, a Scientismus and an Artisrnus, of its own. Hence, there is, by an INHERENT and NECESSARY LAW, UNIVERSAL ANALOGY, Or an ECHO OF SAMENESS, in respect to the method of distribution, between the Entire Universe and any smaller Domain within the Universe ; and, mutually, between all such smaller Domains. Hence, there should be Identity of Distribution, and of Scientific Classification, through- out all Domains. The under 'standing of this Universal Echo of Principles and consequent Universal Analogy makes the Science of Universology. (8.) 63. Language is one of these smaller Domains within the Universe, and is, itself, therefore, a Minia- 40 THE TWO ORDERS, OR METHODS. tnre Universe, in accordance with the Principle of Analogy jnst stated, and a Type or Model of the Whole Universe. More than this, Language, occu- pying an intermediate position between Matter and Mind, .between the Physical and the Metaphysical Sciences, it is especially well situated to serve (by re- lation to its own inherent organization) as an In- terpreter between them. Language is, therefore, scientifically indicated as the Primary Modelic Sphere — the Particular Miniature Universe which it is fitting to adopt as a point of departure in the larger investi- gation of the Entire Universe, and of all its parts. The Human Body is another Modelic Sphere to which there will be early and frequent occasion to recur, in the ulterior development of Universology. 64. If, in accordance with thes*e premises, we as- sume Language as a Minor Universe of Being, and treat the distribution of this Domain, Naturismally, or in the spirit of the existing Sciences merely, there are still two Orders or Methods in which we may ap- proach and prosecute the consideration of the sub- ject. We may, in the first place, commence, so to speak, at the periphery, and proceed towards the cen- tre ; we may, in other words, attempt to surround and embrace Encyclopedically, the Entire Content or Contents of the Language-Domain, and to bring a certain degree of System and Harmony into our knowledge of it, by an external, non-vital, and super- imposed arrangement and classification of its several Departments. All the different Languages spoken on the planet may thus bo enumerated and classified, THE PHONETIC ALPHABET. 41 in respect to both their Spacic and their Tempic Dis- tribution. Oral Speech, Music and Song may be dis- criminated as Departments of this Lingual Universe ; and so also Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric. The Grammar of Language may itself undergo division into Etymology, Syntax, etc. ; and the Parts of Speech may be distinguished and specified. Ana- lysis, and the Phonetic Elements of Speech may be designated as something distinct from every other Department, or at least Hieroglyphic and Syllabic Alphabets devised, and some idea of Words, Syllables and Elements be entertained ; and all this may con- ceivably exist, without any such Analysis of Element- ary Sounds as would supply a proper Phonetic Alphabet, which is the true Core or Centre of Speech, (even when this Alphabet is itself defective and imperfect from the want of a more rigorous and ultra-analytical process). All that has now been de- scribed belongs then to the Objective Method, or, in other words, to the Natural Order of the Naturismal or common phase of the Investigation of Language. 65. But, all of this Procedure may be inverted, and, indeed, so soon as the study of Language as- sumes a really Scientific Character (of the Naturis- mal kind) it is even more natural that it should be in- verted. The exigencies of writing, in the effort to preserve Language, force that degree of Analysis upon the primitive scholars of a nation that they de- velop a somewhat imperfect Phonetic Alphabet, but still a Phonetic Alphabet, representing the Elements of Sound of their particular National Tongue. The 42 THE SCIENTIFIC LINGUAL HEAD. work is empirically accomplished, applies only to the single Language, is destitute of radical knowledge of the Sound-producing Organismus (the Throat, Mouth and Nose) and of many other things essential to the Constitution of the Final and Universal Pho- netic Alphabet, destined thereafter to arise, at some day, as the instrument for expressing with equal cer- tainty all existing and even all possible languages.' 66. Even this imperfect Phonetic Alphabet is, nevertheless, a new and wonderful Element in the constitution of Language. It becomes the Scientific Head or Centre of the Language to which it applies, from which, outwardly, there arises that Inverse Or- der of investigating and treating the whole Lingual Domain which has been adverted to above (64), as the Subjective Method or Logical Order of investigation and treatment. The Objective Method or Natural Order previously sketched (64) rested on OBSERVA- TIONAL GENERALIZATIONS (37 ; B. O. t. 1012), which furnish such general divisions of Language as its Grammar, its Logical Structure, its Musical Struc- 1 I do not leave out of mind the extraordinary and exceptional fact that the Sanscrit Alphabet, perhaps the oldest Alphabet extant, is a marvel of scientific accuracy, for anything wrought out in this primitive or Naturismal method, and that it is vastly superior, for exposition of the true classification of sounds, to any of our more modern alphabets ; but yet, radically considered, even the Sanscrit alphabet is not adequately scientizcd by reference to the organic production of Sounds by the Speech Organ, as demonstrated by modern Science, and still less by any knowledge of the analogical principles involved in and requiring to be represented in the Final Universal Alphabet S. P. A. THE VESTIBULE OF LANGUAGE. 43 fcure, etc. This Logical Order rests, on the contrary, on Analytical Generalizations (37; B. O. t. 1012), furnishing a handful of Elementary Sounds, repre- sented by the Alphabet, but which, in their way, just as really and exhaustively contain, in themselves, the luhole Language, in all its actuality and possibility, as, in its way, the broadest Objective Method could do — nay, indeed, more really and exhaustively, since Obser- vational Generalizations are not susceptible of being so perfectly accomplished as the Analytical. 67. From the Alphabet, as, so to speak, an Inter- nal Knot of the Elements of Speech, a Core, a Cen- trum, a Focus, or Hub, of the Principles of Language represented in Elements, the Structural Constitution of the whole Language is then wrought out, in a new and inverse sense from that previously consid- ered. Syllabaries, Spelling Books, Dictionaries, Vo- cabularies and finally Encyclopedias and the Cata- loguing of entire Libraries, and, finally, of all Litera- ture, are built upon the basis of the Alphabet, which serves in turn as their key, and thence as the key, or, to change the figure, as the Yestibule to the whole Language itself. To go out from the Alphabet as from the centre or main Entrance to the Periphery of Language in this new sense, is to proceed in the Inverse or Logical, and hence not in the Natural, but in its opposite, the Scientific Order of investigation and treatment. 68. But in all of this primitive treatment of Lan- guage, in both Orders, first, separately, and then, in both combined, and reacting upon each other, we are 44 MONOSPHEROLOGY ; COMPAROLOGY. only still in the Naturolw/1/ > l/ie Pi-'nim-rij Enl'ii. and Laics of Deiim. Apart from minor shades or with slightly important additions, this simple Alpha- bet, primarily serving for the English language, is ade- quate to the representation of all existing languages, ORDER OF SOUNDS. and also of Alwato ; or, in a word, of all possible human speech. Marked or modified types will be elsewhere introduced for the intermediate Sounds, down to any requisite degree of fineness in the shades of sound. Such is the simple character of The Universal Li Alphabet. This Skeleton Alphabet as it may be call- ed— by analogy with a skeleton regiment in the army, which has its Pivots or officers and its ground-plan complete, to be subsequently filled in, up to its entire complement, with subalterns and privates — though characterized, in a general sense, as English, is so only because the basis-distribution of 'sounds is the same for English as for all languages ; hence the adjective, English, may be omitted or parenthesized. The Nasalization (97) is needed at this day even for English as we have almost daily need for the trans- literation of French words containing this sound. 94. The different Classes of Sounds are introduced, in the Table, in the order in which they will be sub- sequently considered ; the Vowels first, the S Consonants next, etc. There are three bastard or less perfect vowels, not hitherto mentioned, represented by Italics (000), namely a, u, o, pronounced 1. as a in mare or ai in a?'r, or like a in at prolonged ; 2. as u in cz(t, cwrd ; and 3. as aiv in Motoid, Pluraloid, (Abstract, * sh B f or Compound, Or- •< ganicoid. / Concrete, zli z v JVb. 0.

This Alphabet is the General Basis, not com- pleted in details (93), of an English-Adapted and Universal Phonetic Alphabet. Its most appropriate name is The Sheldon (English Phonetic) Alphabet. There are two additional Back-Mouth Consonant- Sounds, occurring where the stars are placed in the Table, (Class No. 2), namely, 1. the ch (or Hi) as in the German nacA, and 2. the heavy correspond- ing sound gh, which occurs in Gaelic and Dutch (the old English as in throu(/A, thorn/7?, etc.) and is still extant in Scotch ; sounds which are very primi- tive, but which do not abound in the general range of Languages. These go to augment this Basic Alphabet, when instead of adaptation to the English merely, it is to serve, also, as the Basis of the Universal or International Phonetic Alphabet. There are also two Yowel-Sounds 6 and ii (the French eu and «), and two others e and i, (the French open e and Rus- sian or Sclavic i, which should be added for the same purpose. If then we discard $ and j as compound sounds (99), the number of Sounds to be reckoned as belonging to the Skeleton Universal Phonetic Alphabet is 36, the Skeleton English Phonetic AJ- phabet being, in this way, reduced to 30 sounds ; but it will be found practically more convenient to retain the £ and j, (as if they icere simple), and so to reckon this English Alphabet as containing 32 Sounds. It may be observed, in passing, that the Theoretic number of a full Universal Alphabet is 64 sounds ; and that 32 is the half of that number. 96. None of these (six additional exceptional) 62 NASALIZATION DEFINED. Sounds are, however, so practically fundamental as the 30 (or, including £ and,/, the 32) sounds which occur in the English Language, as shown in the preceding Alphabetical list ; (although the th and dh, occurring in English, are also rare sounds with reference to the general range of languages.) Modifications and Intermediate Shades, especially of the Vowel-Sounds, require additional letters, as previously stated, or the marking of some of the letters here used, (93, 000) to print, phonetically and satisfactorily, even the English, and still additional ones to print all the numerous languages of the earth. The details of this extensive and intricate subject belong to other works. (See especially The Vocabulary to the " Basic Outline of Universology," words, Psychology, Theology, Uni- versology and Tikiwa ; and " The Alphabet of the Universe," and " The Universal Alphabet.") What is presented here is simply a Platform or Common Foundation of A UNIVERSAL ALPHABET, from which modifications and adaptations, for Special lan- guages, and for various degrees of Phonetic nicety may take their departure ; in a word the Skeleton of a Universal Alphabet, as explained above. 97. The Nasalization is a mere tinge of the Nasal Consonant quality (Nose-sound or Twang) impressed xm pure Vowel-Sounds. Some languages have the whole series of vowels so affected or in other words a complete series of nasalized vowels, as the Choc- taw, for instance. The French, has four vowels of this order, usually represented by the French letter- combinations an, in, on and un. It simplifies the AMBIGUITIES AVOIDED. consideration and representation of this exceptional class of vowel-sounds very much, however, to treat the Consonant- tinge so impressed on the vowels in so far as a distinct sound as to denote it by a sepa- rate sign which may then be affixed to any vowel. (The sign adopted is a small n at the top, thus an, «*, on, un). There is also an Etymological advantage in this method (for which also we have the authority of the Sanscrit Alphabet), inasmuch as the Nasal Yowels have originated by the absorption of Nasal Conso- nants into the otherwise pure vowels. The Nasaliza- j. tion is placed in this Alphabet along with the Coales- cents ; while yet it is not a letter, and is not numbered in the Alphabetic Estimate. It is merely a Diacrit- ical Sign, in the nature, more of the Accent-Marks, and may be applied to any vowel. (See Introduction "Andrews' and Bachelor's French Instructor.") (000.) 98. The numbers attached to the Vowel-Letters in the Alphabetic Table represent the order in which the Yowels and Diphthongs are generally made to follow each other in a scale or series ; although, for different purposes, there are various other arrange- ments or orders. The Consonant-Orders, variously adopted, are still more numerous, but need not be specified here. 99. It is a common Phonetic idea to represent, each single sound by a single letter ; but, practically, this is not done in existing Alphabets, and need not be insisted upon even for our present purpose, pro- vided no ambiguities are permitted in respect to the sounds which arc meant — no matter how the certain- 64 COMPOUND EUEMENTS. fcy is attained (000.) Accordingly, th, dh, sh, zh and ny, are two-letter-combinations, each of which represents a single sound ; and tsli and dzh represent two sounds each, or are the equivalents of t, sh and d, zJt. These combinations are however so close, and behave so nearly, in various ways, like simple sounds, that it is convenient to admit them into the Alphabet, and to treat them as such. They may be compared to Cyanogen and other Compound Elements in Chemis- try. Th and dh are used for the two sounds of th in thigh and thy, (dhy) ; zh is the French j, or the Eng- lish z in azure. The ng is a single sound of the nasal group, the g having no value as such, as appears when this combination takes a true (" hard ") (/-sound after it ; so, for example, the two words .singer and finger are phonetically represented (in this Alphabet) by singer undjingger (sing-er, fing-ger). 100. The Yowel-Signs o, it, a, having no other dis- tinction from o, u, a, than that of being italicized (94), they should be changed to small capitals if the body of the word in which they occur is already italic, thus brod, for broad, etc. It has been thought im- portant to avoid by such means the introduction of any new letters or types. Observe that the English long i (in pme) is really a diphthong equal to ai (ah, ee), very closely pronounced ; the two sounds squeezed as it were together ; and that the English u (long) is also, in a similar way, a diphthong, equal to ee, oo or yoo, as in wnion. 101. Of the Solid (or true) Consonant Sounds, those which are printed in the Table in a Light Line ABSTEACTOIDS AND CONC3ETOID8. 6,J type — tlie series ending at the lips in p, and the series ending at the lips in/ — are Light or Thin, and hence signify that which is ABSTRACT (or " The Abstract "), as, for example, a Point without extension ; a Line without thickness ; a Law ; a relation of two num- bers as thought of in the mind ; and the like ; or the Analogues of such Abstract Things. They do not therefore, primarily, represent Heal or Concrete Ob- jects or Things. 102. Those sounds, on the contrary, which couple with these, and are printed in Heavy or Black-Faced Types — the series ending at the lips in !>, and the series ending at the lips in v — signify that which is CONCRETE (or " The Concrete "), that is to say, Eeal Objects or Things, Mineral, Vegetable or Animal ; things which have bulk, weight and substancive value ; and the analogues of these objects even in purely Ideal Spheres, as, for example, ivithin the mind itself. 103. This distinction between these two sub-classes of consonant-sounds (Thin and Thick or Abstract-oid and Concret-oid) has been virtually seized upon for a practical purpose by Isaac Pitman, the inventor of Steno-Phonography or Phonographic Short -Hand. He has represented the Abstract, more strictly the Abstractoid sub-class of solid consonant-sounds by certain single Light strokes of the pen, and the cor- responding Concrete or Concretoid Class, by precisely the same strokes, with the mere difference that the strokes are, in this latter case, made Heavy. These are two sub-classes of sounds, within which each Two Sounds produced at the same seat of sound and 66 PAIRING 0? SOUNDS. taken, one from the Thin or Abstractoid, and one from the Thick or Concretoid Variety, make a couple, as it were Male and Female, and so nearly resemble each other, that if the sounds of one of these sub- classes alone be taken and used for those of both, the words so spelled are not, for the most part, un- intelligible. A little awkwardness only ensues from this change, as if, for example, a woman were set to do a man's work ; thus, if instead of "M.a,s(s)a,(tsh)uset(t)8s we were to pronounce Ma.sajuzerf £, the result would be nearly the same on the ear. If, indeed, the pro- nunciation be done deftly and lightly but few people will notice the difference. 104. The 7^-sound and the hard sound of g fas in r/ive) are such a pair of sounds ; the t and the d; and the p and the b ; and the th (in i high) and the ill (in thy) ; and the tsh and the j ; and the sh and the zli ; and the s and the z ; and the / and the v, are also such pairs of the Solid Consonant-Sounds ; the first of each pair being Abstractoid (or Masculoid), and the second or remaining one of each pair (relatively soft) being Concretoid (or Feminoid.) 105. It is probably only a small proportion of Eng- lish speaking persons who practically recognize the fact that there are two different sounds of th, one as in ^//igh (thin, light, hard, abstract), and one as in li.y (thick, heavy, soft, concrete) ; and still less do they recognize that there is, between these sounds in f//igh and thy, precisely the same kind and degree of difference which there is, between t and d in tie and The twoness of the letters first obscures to the STENO-PHONOGRAPHY. 67 mind the fact that only one sound is represented in any given case where they are employed ; and then the sameness of the letters addressed to the eye, although the sound varies, obscures still farther the difference of sound addressed to the ear ; Segnius irritant animos demissa per aurem Quam quse sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus. — HORACE.1 106. The art of Beading as hitherto taught among us, has, in ways similar to this, by in a word the barbarous imperfections of our Alphabet and Or- thography, greatly fostered the bad habit of hearing u'ith the eyes, so that as a people our ears have been obfuscated and deadened until wre are nearly incapa- ble of learning the living languages of other nations. 107. The following Table exhibits the part in ques- tion of Mr. Pitman's Steno-Phonographic Alphabet. I have placed my own namings for the distinct classes of sounds, over and opposite to them, for the sake of preserving unity of system in the present work. TABLE No. 2. ABSTRACT FROM MR.

INHERENT MEANINGS OF THE ELEMENTS OF LANGUAGE. 108. The present chapter will contain a Tabulated condensed statement of the Inherent Meanings of each of the 32 (or, including -n, the 33) sounds of the Skeleton or Abridged (Basic) Alphabet, which is at the same time the Basis of the English-adapted Phonetic Alphabet, and, with a few additions, that of the Universal Phonetic Alphabet, applicable alike to all the Instinctual or Old-Style Languages and to Alwato, the New Scientific Universal Language. 109. To cover more completely the usual range of Yowel and Consonant-Sounds occurring in the va- rious languages, it will be requisite elsewhere, to add the six other sounds above specified, ch, gh, 6, ii, e and i (95). The Special Meanings of these six sounds are, however, mere shades of Meaning of related sounds which are herein given, and are, there- fore, omitted from this elementary exhibit.

CHAPTER V. JUSTIFICATION OF THE ASSIGNMENT (AS MADE IN THE LAST TWO PRECEDING CHAPTERS) OF THE INHERENT MEANINGS OF THE ELEMENTS OF LANGUAGE. 110. The Vowels and Eaclt Class of Consonant-Sounds represent, as shown in what precedes, a Primitive Logical or Noinological Aspect, and hence, in this sense, a LAW, or First Necessary Condition, of Being ; which is then true, also, in greater speciality, of each Individual Sound. 111. The Yowels represent Proto-plasmal Being, the (Jollective Undifferentiated Materials or Ingredients of Being, with, at most, preliminary or incipient as- pects, only, of Differentiation and Organization. This Domain is therefore collectively the Homogeneity of Being, and, in its Universal Aspect, it is Kant's Real- ity, or SOMETHING, or " The Unlimited " or "Infinite." The Interspaces of Silence in Speech represent Kant's Negation. They are the Analogue of Blank Space, 7te.ro, or NOTHING. 112. The Consonants are Breaks and Limits in Vocality, and represent, therefore, Kant's Limitation which is Heterogeneit ij . The Thin or Abstractoid NOVEL NAMES OF SOUND-CLASSES. 77 » Consonants represent strictly, " The Limiting," to per as, and the Thick or Concretoicl Consonants, " The Limited," (B. O. a. 20-25, t. 204, 467.) The Liquids represent Inter-blended or Generalized Limitation, the return from The Heterogeneous towards The Homo- geneous, by the mingling and expunging of the sharper Lines of Differentiation. The Anabigu's or Coalescents represent those still finer Essences of Being which are Spiritually Vital, and which border, transitionally, upon The Unlimited or Infinite (the Vowels), on the one hand, and upon Limitation or The Finite (the Consonants), on the other hand. 113. The Alphabet is distributed, it will have been observed (Chapter III.), into Classes of Sounds bearing titles some of which are new, the propriety of which will appear, however, in some instances, . immediately, and, in other instances, upon further consideration. Solids is a term of this novel character. It has not heretofore been employed in classifying Sounds ; but the term Liquids is of long and well established usage, and it implies Solids, for the counterparting and hitherto unnamed class. Abstract and Concrete (more strictly Abstract oid and Concretoid) are new in this application for those two great Classes of Consonant-Sounds which have been heretofore very variously named as Thin and Thick, as Sharp and Dill, as Light and Heavy, as Tenues and Medice, as Surds and Sonants, as Whispered and Spoken, as Hard and Soft Cheeks.1 The new Max Miiller. 78 GROUNDS FOE ASSIGNING MEANINGS. terms Abstracts and Concretes or Abstracttids and Gon- cretoids will be found specially appropriate as directly indicating the Grand Fundamental Distinction in ' Ontology between " The Abstract " and " The Con- crete' with which these Sounds are, by inherent analogy, in strict accord, and which they will be used throughout the Structure of the New Universal Scientific Language to represent. The remaining unusual terms, Statoid, and Motoid, Singuloid, and Pluraloid, Inorganicoid and Organicoid, Cardinoid and Ordinoid, involve so much of detail that it will not be appropriate to explain them here. They do, how- ever, in part, explain themselves. 114. To exhibit in detail all the grounds upon which these Particular Meanings are assigned, as in- herent, to these several Sounds of the Alphabet, would require a Volume as large, perhaps, as the whole of this Synopsis. For want of space, the statement of these reasons must be very greatly condensed here. They are partly Analogical, partly Analytical, partly Synthetical, and partly Cumulative or fieflectiu . 115. The Analogical proof is that which results from such considerations as were presented in a preceding chapter;' from the fact, in other words, that, Language being a Minor Universe, or an Epitome of the Universe, in its Gknerals, it should, also, conform in its own Distribution to the Distribu- tion of the Universe itself down to the minutest de- tails; and hence that the Elements of /Speech should, I?/ a strict A PRIORI reasoning, answer, item for item, to the Onioloqical Elements of the Universe at large. (Ch. III.) ANALOGICAL AND ANALYTICAL ROOTS. 79 116. The Proofs are Analytical, when, having ascer- tained that a given Class of Sounds corresponds with a given Cosinical Realm or General Category of Thought and Being, as, for instance, the Thin Solid Consonant-Sounds with The Abstract, and the Thick Solids with The Concrete, we then analyze one of these Cosmical Realms into its Constituents, and, at the same time, analyze the corresponding Class of Sounds into its Components, and assign these In- dividual Component Sounds to the corresponding several parts of the Cosmical Realm in question. It is thus again that The Abstract itself being found to be sometimes Simple or Single (as a One Line, or One Point, etc.) and sometimes Compound or Pluri- form (as that which is composed of many points or many lines), we seek for a similar difference in Sub- Classes of the corresponding Class of Sounds, and find it as between the Statoids or Single " Hard Cheeks " or Explodents, the Jc, t,p, which are made by a single effort of the voice, on the one hand, and, on the other, the Motoids or " Frictionals"1 (or Compound " Hard Cheeks ") sh, s} f, which involve a mixed vari- ety of the -vibrations of the voice. The Simple Ab- stract is reduced, by further Analysis, to Division, Differentiation or DUISM, on the one hand, to Unition, Integration or UNISM, on the other hand, and to the Hinge-wise-ness — Half Separative and Half Unifcive — the Cardinism (Lat. cardo, A HINGE) between Division and Unition, which is the related TRLNISM of these 1 Prof. Elsberg. 80 THE VESTIBULE OF LANGUAGE. two. These Three Fundamental Varieties of Tl-.e Simple or Unimorplnc Abstract, — Division, Unition, and the Hinying of these Tivo v.pon each other, — are then found to be answered to or represented by the Three Particular Sounds of this Class k, t, and p, respec- tively. The Pluriinorphic Abstract distributes into similar Particulars represented by sh, s, and f. The Concrete undergoes also Analogical Distributions throughout, terminating on the Sounds which repre- sent the Three Kingdoms, Mineral, Vegetable and Animal, respectively, (b, zh, z, 000.) 117. The Proofs are Synthetical, when they are de- rived from a comparison of the Parts and Shapings of the Mouth in the production of the Sounds, and from the Effects on the Ear, or from the character of the Sounds themselves as made and heard ; and when by this method of examination (the production and the audition of the Sounds), indications are discov- ered of real alliances with corresponding ideas, or of a Natural Fitness in the Sounds to express or to ex- cite given ideas — not merely nor mainly by an ex- ternal and obvious imitation, the bow-wow theory, but more truly, by an interior and occulfc symbolism or enactment of the corresponding ideas. This peculiar- ity of sounds is illustrated in the following instances : Let a skilled Phonetician, with some elocution- ary power, utter and prolong and exaggerate a little the trill of the consonant-sound r, and no one will fail to detect in the rapid vibrations of the point of the tongue, and in their effect upon the ear, an exact re- semblance to the whirr and buzz of a circular saw or CUMULATIVE OK KEFLECTIYE PROOFS. 81 other roughened wheel in rapid rotation. It is in ac- cordance with this quality in the r, that it is fixed scien- tifically as the Analogue of Rapidity, or of the plus- quantum of motion or velocity. On the contrary, let the same elocutionist render the real value of the sound /, and it will be found to be the opposite of the r in qual- ity or character, and to be the striking imitation of all gentle movements, or of the minus-quantum of motion or velocity. By similar methods and close observa- tions of the mechanical production of the sounds by the organs of speech, and of their suggestive effects upon the ear, it has been found practicable to deter- mine empirically and with proximate accuracy, in confirmation of the pure theory, the Primitive or Or- ganic Meaning of each Articulate Sound. It is the difficulty of this kind of proof, however, that it re- quires viva voce illustration, to be rendered obvious and demonstrative, and that it cannot, therefore, be made wholly available by mere description. In im- mediate connection with this subject stand the splen- did experiments and discoveries of Helmholtz on Sound and Yoice, which, exhaustively pursued, will conduct to a complete mechanical exposition of the reasons of the echoing character between oral and musical sounds, and, finally, of these last, and so of both, with corresponding mental and objective states. 118. The proof is Cumulative or Reflective, when it arises from the weU-worJdng of the theory in practice ; by the constant accumulative mass, therefore, of con- firmations reflected or cast back upon the theory by the practical application of it in the infinitely ex- 82 ETYMOLOGICAL CONFIRMATIONS. tended and varied system of word-building winch is characteristic of Alwato. This test will in every particular delight the thorough student of the sub- ject, and the guidance supplied by this new percep- tion of the identity of Sound and Sense will come to be regarded by him as the most perfect and exhaust- ively comprehensive of scientific discoveries, instru- ments, and methods. 119. As part of this latter species of proof, there is also an immense current of etymological confirma- tions, of the instinctual or spontaneous order, recur- ring throughout the Hindo-European family of lan- guages, and which it would carry us too far to attempt to illustrate extensively here. Plato, in his Phsedo, furnishes some examples from the Greek. The following instances from the English of the forceful and vigorous nature of the sound r, and of the gentle sweetness of the I must suffice at this point. It is, however, a discovery of no little im- portance, in this connection, that by the Principle of Universology called TERMINAL CONVERSION INTO OP- POSITES (B. O. t. 83), there is a strong tendency in words to go over into the directly opposite meauhnj from that which is primitively inherent in, or native to, them. This occurrence is indicated, in the following Lists, by the Heading : 8ubdominance of the Opposite These lists contain a nearly exhaustive showing of the root-words of the English language which In'fjin with the letter-sounds T and /, together with some few others (where these sounds occur in tlio middle or at the end of the root.)

In respect to the scientific probability that Sounds should comport their own meaning, there are two schools of opinion among philologists, on the subject. Socrates, Plato, Heyse and Max Muller re- present a class of scholars who have persisted in be- lieving in this inherent natural alliance between sound and sense, in advance of any great positive ability, on their part, to establish the theory. There 88 DE. LAEDNEE ; PROF. WHITNEY. is, however, in tliis, as in all things, an adverse class of able but innately conservative thinkers who have always great capacity for pronouncing dogmatically as to what cannot be true or can never be accomplished ; and sometimes it occurs that their croaking proph- ecies of impossibility are refuted almost before they are uttered, by the actual accomplishment. An illustration occurs in what is popularly attributed to Dr. Lardner in respect to the impossibility of navi- gating the ocean by steam. Of the same character will be found to be such utterances upon the subject now under consideration as the following ex cathedra announcement by the learned Professor Whitney, of Yale : " That some degree of such subjective correspond- ence, felt more distinctly in certain cases, less so in others, may have sometimes suggested to a root proposer, by a subtle and hardly definable analogy, one particular complex of Sounds rather than another, as. the representative of an idea for which he was seek- ing expression, need not be absolutely denied. Only, in admitting it, and seeking for traces of its influence, we must beware of approximating in any degree to that U'ildest and most absurd of the many vagaries re- specting language, the doctrine of the natural and in- herent significance of articulate sounds."1 1 " Language and the Study of Language," by Win. Dwight Whitney, Professor of Sanscrit and Instructor in Modern Lan- guages, in Yale College, p. 430. This last expression, " the inher- ent significance of articulate sounds," seems probably to have been quoted from previous publications of my own. The italics, in the above extract, have been supplied by myself, to exhibit both the admissions and the assumptions of this dictum. S. P. A. THE COUNTER-VERDICT. 89 Despite of this verdict of conservative science, the truth of the subject will rapidly vindicate itself with the progress of the development of the new language. In the following chapter a few prelim- inary specimens of word-building by the new prin- ciple will be exhibited. It is only with the expansion of the subject, however, far beyond what the limited nature of this little work will permit, that the over- whelming force of the demonstration will fully ap- pear. It is a mere basis which we can, at the most, hope, herein, to establish. CHAPTER VI. DISCRIMINATION OF THE POSITIVE AND THE NEGATIVE ; THE CHAOTIC AND THE OEDEELY ; THE HOMOGENEOUS AND THE HETEEOGENEOUS, WITH OTHEE FUNDAMENTAL ONTOLOGICAL DIFFEEENCES ; AND OF THE COEEESPOND- ING LINGUAL AND ALPHABETICAL CLASSIFICATIONS. 121. Although Nature Science and Art have been presented and hitherto insisted upon as the leading distribution, practically, of the whole Universe of Af- fairs, still there are other distributions which are in a sense more primitive, and to which we must now give a portion of our attention. Metaphysically, the Fundamental distribution of the Universe of Concep- tion is into, 1. SOMETHING or REALITY, 2. NOTHING or Non-Reality, or Negation, and 3. LIMITATION, which last is properly Articulation, or the Hinging Line, or the Joint, between the Something and the Nothing. Kant's Three Categories of Quality or of the Quali- tative Constituency of Being are, accordingly, 1. Rwlity, 2. Negation, and 3. Lint if of ion. 122. In the corresponding Qualitative Constituency of that Special Universe called Language (which we are now treating as the epitome of the Great Uni- CONSTITUENCY OF UNIVERSE AND SPEECH. 91 verse), 1. THE SOMETHING or Reality is SOUND or the Intoned Breath, 2. THE NOTHING or Negation is SILENCE, or the Intervening Spaces, or Silences, be- tween Discourses, Sentences, Words, Syllables, and Sounds, and 3. LIMITATION is ARTICULATION, or the breaking up of the homogeneous or continuous sounding breath into special or differentiated partic- ular Sounds, while, still, these Sounds are held to- gether in Discourse ; and, so, being, at the same time, both separated and united, and, hence, cardinated or bearing a hinge-wise relationship to each other, they are denominated Articulate, or Articulated Sounds ; the word, "Articulated3 being derived from the Latin articulus, A LITTLE JOINT or HINGE. 123. In a similar or correspondential manner, in the Outer Material Universe, the diffused Ether which in- fills Space echoes to and represents the mere Abstract or Metaphysical Something or Reality of Being ; the Blank' Space itself holds the same relation to the Metaphysical Nothing ; and the Mathematical Posit- ings and Divisions of Space, and the Bodies organ- ized from the Ether in the Space in subordination to the mathematical points, lines and surfaces limiting or articulating them, as the planets or other objects in nature, correspond collectively to the Metaphysical Category of Limitation ; (" The Limiting" and " The Limited," B.O. a. 20, t. 204); so that there is CORRES- PONDENCE or ECHO between the constitution of Language and that of the Material Universe and that, again, of the Abstract Metaphysical Domain of Pure Thought, re- spectively. 92 "REALITY" AND "LIMITATION' IN SPEECH. Accordingly, the Silences of Speech are repre- sented on the printed page of any book by " Blanl;*" or by what the printers call " Spaces " — the identical two terms (Jilank and space) which are applied to the Nothing, or Negative Aspect, of the Material Uni- verse— Blank Space, itself. 124. Dismissing this back-lying and lowest dis- crimination ; dismissing, in better terms, the Nothing- Element of Speech, the Silence or Silences, which last correspond to the Interstices of Space in the Consti- tution of Matter ; and turning our attention to what remains, or rather to what results from the Some- thing-Element in conjunction with its Negative Base ; to the Utterance, in other words, or Phonos of Lan- guage ; this, then, undergoes a primary division which echoes, in a higher or concrete sense, to the remaining one of these metaphysical differences, that between 1. Reality, and 2. Limitation. The " Reality " of Lan- guage, or, what is the same thing, the Substance-like Element of Speech is, then, Vocality, or, in other words, the Complex or Aggregate of the Vowel-Sounds ; and the "Limitation" or Articulation of Speech, the Morphic or Form-like Element, is the complex or aggregate of the Consonant-Sounds — whence it happens that the Consonants are habitually denomi- nated Articulations, in a more special sense than that in which the term, Articulate, is applied, generically, to Speech or Language at large. 125. But, intermediate to the prior distribution of Speech into Sound and Silence-, and the subsequent distribution into Vocality and Articulation, there is ."THE INFINITE" AND "THE ABSOLUTE." 93 another (less important) division or distribution to be noticed. - This concerns the difference between the so-called Inarticulate Sounds made by animals, and in part also by the human voice, as in sneezing, coughing, and the like, and True Articulate Speech. By Inarticulate is here meant, however, Indeterminate Articulation, or articulation of a lower grade, in the same manner as by the term Inorganic we do not mean that which has no kind or degree of organiza- tion, but that which is relatively without organization. Inarticulate sounds may be taken to correspond with meteors, meteoric dust, and the like, which have the same amorphous and anomalous relation to the regu- larly constituted planetary bodies and other stih1 more highly organized objects which these inarticu- late sounds hold to language as articulate speech. This Indeterminate Kegion is the Analogue of the " Primitive Chaos," of the poetical conception. 126. Assuming, now, the diphthong au (ah-oo), as representative of the vowels at large, — the whole Vowel-Scale (92), — which it is, with sufficient ac- curacy for ordinary uses, the termination -io (ee-o) to mean Realm or Domain and -ia (ee-ah) to denote a Principle, we have the Alwato word au,io (ah-oo-ee-o) to denote the realm or domain of Unlimited or Infinite KEALITY — Unlimited or Infinite, because there is no such element of sound appearing therein as denotes Limi- tation, which it is the special function of the Conso- nants to do. Au,io means, therefore, The Infinite Reality, or Simply " THE INFINITE." It is, still, how- ever, The Infinite, (Illimited or Unlimited) in a Sen- 94 "THE INFINITE'' AND "THE FINITE. or Comprehensible sense, such as is Relative, or Related to our Comprehension or Capacity of Under- standing. Hence it is The Ordinary or Non-tran- scendental Infinite. If we, then, add the Nasalization, (97, 153, 156) as the sign of Incomprehensibility, we have aunio, meaning The Absolutely Infinite or Transcen- dental Beality, — rationally inferred, but incomprehen- sible, — or, in simple terms, " THE ABSOLUTE." In this latter coupling, the meanings are as follows : 1. Au,io, " The Infinite " (The Unlimited ; The Homogeneous.) 2. Aunio, "The Absolute" (The Incomprehensible, "The Un- knowable.") The termination -ski (skee) means science or lore (German -lehre, 24.) Auski means, therefore, Phil- osophy in the general or ordinary sense (Empiri- cal), and aunski means, specifically, Transcendental (or Cardinary) Philosophy, (purely Rational.) 127. We may, in the next place, assume the Con- sonants ng, k, v, 1, as the appropriate representative group of those Sounds (including one of each Con- sonant Class) to denote the Consonants at large, or all the Consonants, as au was chosen to denote the Vowels (126.) Aided in utterance by the au, (the Con- sonants so require the Yowels), and (if preferred) by a prosthetic e, we have ngkauvlio or engkauvlio (eng- kah-oo-vlee-o) to mean " THE FINITE," or The Lim- itary (the function of the Consonants being Limita- tion). Coupled in this sense we have : 1. Au,io, '' The Infinite " (Relative, Common, or Ordinari/.} 2. Engkauvlio, "The Finite" (Eiigkiiuvlski, Echosophy, B. 0. t. 13 and c. J3 do.) THE UNCONDITIONED AND THE CONDITIONED. 95 128. Sir William Hamilton has, with great subtle- ty, perceived The Infinite and The Absolute to be the two species of a genus, which he calls The Un- conditioned. This last, The Unconditioned, should embrace, therefore, in its representation, both the pure or unnasalized Yowels and the Nasal Yowels. Hence its appropriate naming is au,i,aun,io (ah-oo-ee- ah-oon-ee-o.) To this the proper and full antithet is engkau,i,aunvlio (f.ngkah-oo-ee-ah-oon-vlee-o) meaning The Conditioned, including enkauvlio, The Ordinary, and engkaunvlio, The Transcendental Finite. Some of these terms may seem somewhat awkward to the neophyte ; but the ideas themselves are of the most subtle and embarrassing, and natural language then exactly echoes this embarrassment. As we descend to more feasible domains the words will become correspondingly feasible. (The i at the mid- dle of these compound terms means and.) It will appear, elsewhere, that Shau,io (shah-oo-ee-o), is the more usual naming for The Conditioned, Aushio (ah-oosh-ee-o) for the Unconditioned ; Sau,io (sah-oo-ee-o) for The Finite (The Collected and In- cluded), and Ausio (ah-oos-ee-o) for The Infinite, (The Excluded Unlimited.) ( .) 129. Intermediate between these two, The Unlim- ited " Reality " (The Yowels), and The " Limitation," (Consonants), there is a still more subtle Spiritual Region, the RATIONAL-BEING-DOMAIN, (the God-Spirits- Humanity-domain), The Theandric Domain, or Thean- drismus ; which is represented by the Ambigu's or Coalescents (Half Yowels, half Consonants ; h, y, 9G -10 AND -SKI COMPARED. w, n.) This is named Hwaunio (lioo-ah-oon-ee-o). Swedenborg may be mentioned as a representative name in connection with this subtlest of all possible domains of human investigation. 130. We return now, from this embarrassing pre- amble of all philosophical distribution, to the more feasible and pleasing arena. Assuming au,io for the Common Infinite, or merely Unlimited, the Simple Undefined Domain (which is to be primarily subject- ed to distribution), it subdivides into the following Eleven (or with the Collective au, Twelve) depart- ments, (guarding the termination -ski for Science.)

Among the sets of correlative terms employed in General Science, two of the most important, while yet of the most vaguely comprehended, are the terms Homogeneous and Heterogeneous. The first of these is derived from two Greek words, liomolos, SAME or SIMILAE, and genos, KIND or SORT, and the second from heteros, OTHER, and genos. Etyinologically, there- fore, Homogeneous means or THE SAME KIND, and Heterogeneous, OF DIFFERENT KIND or KINDS ; but the etymological meaning of scientific terms frequently gives a very inadequate idea of their actual meaning as they are practically applied. HOMOGENISM AND HETEROGESISM. 99 • 134. Nothing whatsoever is, throughout, of one and the same kind to that absolute degree that no dif- ferences can be discovered in its various parts ; and nothing is, on the other hand, so composed of dif- ferences that no common ground of sameness or simi- larity can be found to exist between the parts. But, relatively, or in Preponderance, some objects are Uniform, that is to say they are nearly uniform in their composition and in all their parts, as Water or the Air, for instance ; and other objects are highly complex, as, for instance, the Human Body, or an Edifice, the Mind of Man, Human Society (with all its manifold interests) and the like. It is this dif- ference between objects as Simple or Uniform, and as Complex or Multiform, especially in respect to the Substances of which they are composed, which is intended, in Science, by the terms Homogeneous and Heterogeneous. The terms U/idi/ferentiated and Dif- ferentiated have similar meanings, but may perhaps tend to apply rather to Forms than to Substances. 135. Even the same word may be differently used to mean at one time, the Homogeneous Aspect of an object, and at another time, the Heterogeneous As- pect. For instance, if we speak of Earth as a sub- stance, as when we say Earth, Air, fire and Water, we assign to it a Homogeneous character, leaving it unlimited (or nearly so), even in our thoughts, in re- spect to shape or form, or the lines of difference, be- tween its Component Parts ; but if we speak of Earth or the Earth, meaning the planet which has that name, we have before the mind a heterogenized or highly dif- 100 THE HOMOGENEOUS AND THE GDKEIIAL. • ferentiated object, with definite shape or external limits, and with distinctive differences of the parts. So,- in another sphere, if we speak of Mind in general, we mean mind as a uniform and unlimited ideal Substance, and, therefore, as Homogeneous ; but if we speak of The Human Mind, or of the mind of a particular indi- vidual, we mean, as it were, a determinate and highly differentiated object, a Complicated Organismus, and as such, something Heterogeneous in kind. 136. The diffused Universal ether which, theoreti- cally at least, fills all space, may be taken as the Type of what is signified by THE HOMOGENEOUS — technically THE HOMOGENISMUS ; as the typical re- presentative, in other words, of all objects or parts of Nature which are homogeneous in character. A planet, with its freightage of "minerals, vegetables and animals, our world, the earth, for example, the limited Cosmos, enucleated from its matrix of dif- fused and attenuated matter is, on the other hand, the Type of what is meant by THE HETEROGENEOUS -technically THE HETEROGENISMUS ; as the typical representation, in other words, of all objects or parts of Nature which are heterogenized in character. 137. The Homogenisnius of the General Cosmos in- cludes TheProto-pragmata, Bdmj, Matter, Tune, S} 'ace, etc., and easily lapses into the idea of general diffusive- ness and Liquidity, winch belong, however, really to the Generabismus, defined in the next subsequent paragraph (138.) These Liquidities are, primarily, the Great Ocean of Ether, then, the Atmosphere as repeating it, then, Water and all Fluids, and finally, all Plasm; is. MLAU.IO AND MLAUSKI. J01 Emulsions and the like ; and the Analogues of all these in other more special spheres, as in the human mind, for instance. The Heterogenismus subdivides, on the contrary, into the Inorganic "World (the Inorganismus) and the Organic World (the Organism us) ; or into The Mineral World, on the one hand, and The Vegetable and The Animal Kingdoms, on the other hand. (140.) 138. The Universal Homogenisrnus — Al,au,io — is (par excellence) THE INFINITE ; and Time (*/,io), Space (o,io), etc., are Special Infinities ; but The Horno- geneoiis, with any less extensional affix than al-, lies nearer to The Conditioned or Limited. It is a tech- nicality of the Sciences, or of what is Positive, though diffused, and, hence, it is closely allied with the idea of Generality. This latter (Generality) is, however, wholly within the Limitary, and is named, there- fore, from the Consonants ; but from that class of them which is most confluent or least distinctifying. These are analogous with the Liquidities described in the preceding paragraph (137) and are specifically the " Liquids." These are adapted especially to the naming of all Being the type of which is Liquidity. The combination ml is then chosen (a leading sound taken from each Class of Liquids) to serve with au to supply the name for Generality. Mlau,io, is, therefore, The General Domain (technically the Generajisnms), and Mlauski, is Generalogy (The Indeterminate As- pect of things, broadly extended and interblended, the lines of discrimination partially obliterated.) Auguste Comte functionates in this department of Positivity which he calls Natural Philosophy. t 102 KAUVIO. 189. The Counterparting term is kauvio, The Spe- cial, (technically The Specialismus ; or the Domain of Special and Exact Limitation, or Discriminations, or of Speciality. The Particular Sciences are called Specialities and their Professors Specialists.) Kauvski is Specialogy. It is within this that Spencer begins his distribution of the Sciences — into 1. THE AB- STRACT, 2. THE CONCRETE, and 3. THE ABSTRACT-CON- CRETE Sciences. Shaupski is Abstractologij (Logic and Mathematics), s3ta«!*ski is Concretology, and mblaufiski, Abstract-Concreiolor/y. This last term is nearly unpronounceable in itself, but it implies in its Composition these Special Sciences 1, Mlauski Chem- istry (in a Special Aspect named Jauski, Monadol- ogy), 2. Blauski Mechanics, and 3. Fauski Physics — of which three it is sgmewhat arbitrarily composed.1 1 The awkwardness of the word in such instances is not the fault of the new language (Alwato), but one of its chief cxaUcnces, for it reveals by the incongruity of the Sounds so brought together the corresponding incongruity in the classification of the subjects them- selves. Yet, there may be reason and convenience (in some very general aspects of Classification) which would furnish names es- sentially uneuphonious. The words may still serve as a visible notation for things too heterogeueously allied to comport any better single naming ; or, the effort to pronounce such words may serve as a vocal gymnastic; or, finally, their very incongruity may serve as the most effective criticism on a classification which would demand such namings, as a lingual vote, so to speak, against it, and perhaps as a means of banishing it from popular acceptance. But if it be desirous to retain the particular class, other and more euphonious designations can always be devised by changing the principle of Comminution: thus Shauso-zlianbski is a literal Al- \vas.> translation for Abstract-Concretology. (S;v, also, other works.) BO,IO AND VO,IO. 103 140. ZhaubsM distributes into the proper Sciences of the three kingdoms. Without tracing the details it may be said that b meaning body apart from the specific idea of life (109) bau,io (bah-oo-ee-o) is the Alwaso term for Inorganismus (the mineral and planetary world), and v, meaning living body, vau,io (vah-oo-ee-d) is the Alwaso term for Organismus (or Living World.) Treated of, however, in respect to their more presentative aspect, these terms modulate more properly in the simple and euphonious single vowel o. Thus bo,io is the Inorganic Cosmos, and vo,io the Organic World culminating in, and spe- cially signifying man, mind- vision mind. (Zhauv-io is more strictly The Organismus entire.) This last, vo,io, (or zhauvio) then subdivides into (or has, as subordi- nate) zJiotio The Vegetable Kingdom and zo9io, The Ani- mal Kingdom, the two Grand Branches of the Organic World, respectively. (The termination -so converts them into Adjectives, thus ; bo,iotso, RELATING TO THE INOKGANIC WORLD, and Vb,io,so RELATING TO THE OR- GANIC WORLD, zho,io,so RELATING TO THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM, and vo9io,so, RELATING TO THE HIGHER ANI- MAL KINGDOM, etc.) 141. Objects which are homogeneous or of the same constitution throughout, are the materials or stiffs out of which heterogenized or differentiated ob- jects are composed ; whether as an outlying ocean of such substances not yet constructed into specific ob- jects ; or as the interstitial confluent materials which permeate and so infill the more specifically differen- tiated parts of objects ; or as, in fine, the plasmas, 104 VOWEL AND CONSONANT CHARACTERS. emulsions, and fluidities contained in the vessels of the more highly organized beings ; — the Horaoge- nismus and the Generalismus being readily con- fluent with each other, as Liquid Sounds readily decline into Yowels. Homogeneous things are, therefore, greatly identified with SUBSTANCE, or the " Reality ' of the Metaphysicians, the element of Form (or " Limitation ") figuring, in respect to them, only in a subordinate way. The appropriateness of the " Real " or Pure Vowel-Sounds, the soft, mushy, concessive element of language, for their representa- tion is, therefore, very obvious. (91, 111, 143.) 142. Heterogeneous or heterogenized objects, and the heterogenized parts of objects have, on the con- trary, the element of FORM or Shape, or the " Limi- tation " of th.e Metaphysicians, predominant or ruling in them ; and Substance is subordinated. They are, therefore, appropriately represented by the Conso- nant-Sounds ; for, while the Yowels are homogeneous in character, the Consonants are heterogeneous, or heterogenizing or limitative of the Vowel or Substan- tive element. 143. The actual cavities and interstices of struc- tures, as of a planet (caves, etc.) or of the human body, as relative vacuums, are the analogue of Noth- ing, or the " Negation ' of the Metaphysicians, con- jointly with the outlying and surrounding space (123). This Nothingness is closely allied with Generalization which carried to the ultimation exhausts all Particu- larity and ceases to be, except as the metaphysical echo (of the " Realist ") to the Heal World; and . EXTENSION AND CAEEEES. 105 Generalization is, in turn, allied (141) with Liquid- ity. The Liquids are of two kinds, 1. Static and Nasal, m, n, ng, (Nose-Sounds, resonant), and 2. Mo tic and Oral or Flowing, I and r. The Nasal Liquidity (m, n, ng) Static and resonant, has for its Analogue in Nature, the Great Reservoirs of Fluidity, with their glassy or mirror-like surface or Reflexion (Mind- wise) in Calm, and The Resonance of Ocean-Caves in Activity, and so Expanse or EXTENSION ; and The Flowing Liquidity (I, r) is analogous with Cur- rents or Streams, and so with Orbital and other CAREERS. (It is the Bastard Vowels u and o, for Time and Space, which counterpart the Heal Yowels and correspond with "Negation.") 144. Homogeneous objects or substances are named by Substantive Substantives — non-pluralizable, or such as have no proper plurals, as air, mud, pitch, gold, metal, liquid, etc. If plural forms occur in re- spect to such nouns, they denote not so much dif- ferent individual objects as different kinds of the same object. Liquids means, for instance, different varieties of liquid, and not merely different masses of the same liquid. Heterogenized objects are, on the contrary, pluraliza'ble, or have true plurals, as horses, houses, men. 145. The Incorporated Homogenismi of the Cosmos have been recently discriminated with some accuracy, by Hugh Doherty, in a work, called " Organic Phil- osophy," Volume First, " Epicosmology," and have been furnished with a seriated list of names ; Geo- sphere (earthy) Atmosphere (aerial), Thaflatosphere (watery), etc. CHAPTER VIL METHOD AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF ALWATONI WORD- BUILDING. 146. The Ultimate Elements of Speecli (or, other- wise, the Primitive Elements, according to the order in which we consider the subject) are, practically, as results from all that has been shown, the Vowel and Consonant-Sounds, represented by the Alphabet of Signs or Letters. These correspond with the so- called Ultimate Elements of Organized Substance (Chemical.) But, the proper Working Elements of Language are different from these and correspond with the so-called Proximate Elements of an Organ- ized Object, the human body, for instance. These are the Two-letter (or Bi-Uteral) Root-words, which are produced by compounding one consonant with one vowel- sound, as BI, (bee), BE, (ba),BA, (bah), or, inversely, one voivel with one consonant-sound, as IB, EB, AB, etc. 147. To make the primitive combinations of the Vow- el and Consonant-sounds into these Two-Letter-Root- words, seizing the appropriate meaning of the r<«>t- llrord so formed as logically derived from the mean- AN EXPLANATION. 107 ings of the prior elements (those of the separate Yowel and the separate Consonant-sound involved in each such combination), is a work of skill, tasking the keenest insight of the expert Phonetician-and-Univer- sologist, and demanding, perhaps, a specific faculty for the quick perception and the profound appreciation of analogies ; as, in the case of Chemistry, it must be the professional chemist who deals with ultimate (or primitive) analysis and synthesis. The meanings of the Two-Letter-Roots are best, then, for ordinary purposes, stated dogmatically and accepted on au- thority— the way being always open for recurring to the deeper analysis by all those who take pleasure in doing so, or by those whose mental constitution or state demands the more absolute demonstration. 148. To illustrate : the h-sound denotes breath-like- being, spirit, and o denotes presentation; b denotes head- and-trunk (or bulb-and-shaft), and o presentation ; and m denotes muchness and outness, and a (ah) denotes sub- stance. Now it may require the mental tact us erudi- tus, and a large and clear oversight of the whole field of analogy, to derive, with scientific confidence, the meaning man or humanity from the combination of h and o into ho ; or that of body from that of b and o into bo ; or that of mass (or matrix) from that of in and a into ma. It will be better, therefore, practically, for ordinary works of instruction in the new language not to go so far back towards the beginning-point of the verbal creation, but to assume as known, after the fact shall have been established 108 AN ILLUSTRATION. by the more occult philosophy, that ho means man, that bo means body, ma mass, etc. 149. But from this point onward and outward the process of Word-Building becomes simple and delight- ful. Taking our departure from the Two-Letter-Roots as a basis, of which there are nearly two thousand — more than the number of actual root-words now extant in the whole Indo-European family of lan- guages (including those of five, six, and even seven sounds) — the compounding of these, as syllables, into longer words, with corresponding compound meanings, is a process which will be instinctually and easily acquired by the common, and even by the wholly uneducated mind. This process corresponds with the Confection of Proximate Elements, as of the albumen of the egg, the starch of the flour, and the sugar, by the cook, in the domestic economy of the kitchen ; not necessarily demanding any previous chemical education. 150. To illustrate : the meanings of ho,bo, and ma, being known, or accepted on authority for man or humanity, body, and mass, respectively, it requires no special genius or learning to combine them into hobo, for the human body, hoboma, for the mass or bulk of the human body ; homa for human mass, society, or folks, (as we say the masses, for the people), honiabo, for the body of society, etc. It is in this manner that (not a few thousands of words, all that we have now in any existing language) but milhons on millions of words will be spontaneously formed, so simple in their structure as to be self-defining, dispensing with TWO CONSTITUENCIES OF ALWATO. the necessity (so far as they are concerned) of any dictionary, and serving the most complex and varied necessities of the human mind. Another department of the new language ivill, however, be derived from the materials now extant in existing languages ; a more arbitrary department, for the definitions in lohich the services of the dictionary will still be required. Even the forms of the words and sentences, and, sub- stantially, the whole of the leading existing lan- guages, and hence, their literature intact, may be thus preserved and imbedded in the matrix of the New Scientific Universal language ; and the acquisi- tion of these Special tongues will be, at the same time, immensely facilitated by the knowledge of the phil- osophy which underlies and has produced them. Alwato will then stand, centrally, like a Rotunda in the midst of a huge Speech Temple — the Entire Lingual Structure of the Planet — with an internal, direct, and convenient passage-way conducting to the heart and centre of each of the Old-style or Instinctual Lan- guages or forms of speech ; so that while it may seem to replace them all, and ultimately to dispense with them, it will truly conserve them all ; and will more than compensate for the partial obsolescence it may bring, in the coming ages, upon the extant literature of a single tongue, the English, for instance, by the im- mense facility it will offer for the mastery of that which will then be the ancient literature of all tongues. 151. The remainder of this chapter will be devoted to a very abridged exhibit or slight sample of the two methods of the Composition of the Vocal Elements 110 i (EE) BEING. into Significant Words, in accordance with the prin- ciples of Alwato ; which may be called A TABULATED SYNOPSIS OF ALWATON1 OB ALWASO WOKD-BUILDING. I. Ultimate (or Primitive) Synthesis— from the Alphabetic Sounds and their Meanings, up to the Two- Letter Hoots. 1. Alphabetic Sounds and their Meanings, selected from TABLE No. 3, CHAPTER IV., (with some license and enlargement of Statement), as- Elements of Sound charged with Elementary Meanings. a.

But, such is by no means the case Indeed, in respect to Elementary or Root-Words, just the E (A) RELATION.

These words are charged with such an immense quantity of meaning, or, in other words, with such an aggregate of different but related meanings, that they can only be defined by accumulating a crowd of words from the Old-style or In- stinctual Languages. The specializing division of this aggregate meaning is then indicated by some new or additional element, and the more special meaning by still another additional element, and so on, until, in the end, the, exclusion of Ambiguity is attained to to the estremest practicable degree, and the minutest specific dif- ferences indicated. For example, i signifying all the various as- pects of Being undifferentiated, mi signifies Affirmative Being, ni Negative Being (Inness to the Vanishing Centre, In ; nor, neither), li Perpetual or Continuous, Level or Similar Being, ri Temporary, In- terrupted, or Broken Being ; (reflected, turned back), bi Concrete In- organic Being, vi Concrete Organic Being, Life, etc. The Combina- tions of the Syllabic Root- Words so formed then combine to repre- sent still more specific meanings. The transcript of Nature is in this way far more perfect than if the new language contained only words of exact specification. 112 SELECTED CONSONANTS.

It will be appropriate to conclude this chapter with some notice of Diacritical Marks, as a sort of Secondary Alphabet, or of accessory means for modi- fying, further discriminating, and, as it were, multi- plying the Sounds and their Meanings of the Basic Alphabetic Signs — the proper Alphabet. 120 DIACRITICAL MARKS. The most familiar instance of a Diacritical Mark is the Accent (not the so-called French Accent Marks but) as meant and used in English, as the sign of a predominant or increased stress of the voice upon a particular syllable of a word ; as present (the Verb), and present (the Noun or Adjective). The same Accent Mark is retained, in the same sense, in Al- wato. i 153. The Nasalization-sign (n) has been already no- ticed and described as merely a Diacritical Mark (93, 97.) This sound (the Nasalization) which abounds in French, Polish, Sanscrit, and many other languages, offers, ordinarily, a great stumbling-block to English- speaking people, but one which even a slight explana- tion will tend greatly to remove. It is confounded with the English Throat-Nose^Consonant- Sound ng, to which it is related, but from which it very de- cidedly differs. The English ng-sound is a true Consonant-sound, that is to say, the parts of the mouth where it is made completely close upon each other, hindering entirely the passage of the sound- ing-breath through the channel of the mouth, and giv- ing it no other exit than through the nose. Of this any one will convince himself by putting the finger deep into the mouth, and then saying ki?^ / he will feel the back part of the tongue rising at the end of the word and pressing the finger very closely, striving to close that passage-way. But the French Nasal sounds are mere Yowels with a tinge of Nasalization or of Nose-sound upon them ; that is to say, they are produced with the piiwt«jc-w~n/ of the month DIACRITICAL MARKS CONTINUED. 121 completely open, a portion of the sounding breath merely being at the same time thrown through the nose. In the utterance of the French an (ahn), the organs of the throat and mouth are as completely open as in pronouncing a (ah), and the slight n- quality which is heard with the vowel comes of the surplus of sounding breath thrown at the same in- stant into the nasal passages, or into the head and nose. The French un (uhn) is merely a slight grunt, often heard in English, not as a recognized part of lan- guage, but as a sort of involuntary interjection. For a full account of these Nasalized Vowel-Sounds, as they occur in French, see Andrews' and Batchelor's "French Instructor," Introduction, p. 47; and " The Key " to the same.1 154. The Vowel-Scale of Eight Vowels, Table No. 1, (94) leaves the Length, Stress, and Peculiar Ictus of which those sounds are susceptible to be determined, as may be necessary, by Additional Marks (called Diacritical.) These are mostly such as are already of familiar use in English for similar purposes ; namely the " Long Mark " (a), the "Short Mark" (a), and the "Accent Mark " ('), already noticed (151.) The so-called Grave-Accent (a) is used to mark " Stopped Vowels," or such as are both Short and characterized by Ictus, or a sudden and abrupt style of utterance, as i, e, a, in pit, pet, pat, etc. These words are, therefore, represented, Alwali, thus : pit, pet, pat ; while peet, pate, pare, are printed as pit, 1 New York : D. Appleton & Co. 6 122 DIACRITICAL MARKS CONTINUED. pet, par, etc. Some details of this subject will have to be omitted here. Vowels Unmarked are to bo understood as of the medium and ordinary length and character, or, as Undiacriticised, but susceptible of being rendered definite by the addition of the marks — like Un vocalized Phonography. 155. The hyphen (-) is only retained for casual pur- poses, as, chiefly, for connecting the parts of a word, when occurring at the end of a line and at the com- mencement of the next line. In the real composition of words it is dispensed with, and the following im- proved system is adopted. Commas, Semicolons and Colons — the bulk, as it were, of the Ordinary System of Punctuation as it has heretofore occurred between words only, and then " spaced out," as the printers say, or with openings between the words — are used, also, Alwali, in the body of the ivords theTnsdves, but without spaces / to mark the divisions of Syllables in any way liable to undue coalescence, and to indi- cate the composition of the words, generally. Thus, i,ki,ia is a different word in composition and meaning from ik,i,ia ; and the English word potjtook is so pre- vented from being pronounced pojhook. If it is not a mere separation of Sounds and Syllables, but a Com- pound Word, which is to be indicated, the semicolon is substituted for the comma ; as in English Ave might print thunderstorm or house ; carpenter (instead of tlnni- der-storm, house-carpenter) ; and in the case of still more complex combinations the colon is introduced ; as if in journey man:house;carpenter, where the n'*f of the voice is something greater after the first word, DIACBITICAL MARKS CONTINUED. 123 than between the last two. In other respects the Or- dinary System of Punctuation remains unchanged except by a few additions which need not be speci- fied here. This endo-lexic (within the word) punc- tuation is not rigorously prescribed ; but may be employed somewhat ad libitum, according to the views or purposes of the author ; as, in a preceding paragraph sama,io employs the comma, but in hobo- samaio it is dispensed with. (000.) 156. The small raised letter n, used to denote the Nasalization (97) is of a style of types called techni- cally, among printers, " Superior ' letters or types. A still more extended use is made, diacritically and Alwali, of this variety of types, solving many of the most difficult problems, met by Lepsius and others, in the attempt to arrange a Romanized Ethnical or International Alphabet. The "Superior" h is used to express the slight Aspiration which accompanies at times nearly every consonant in the Sanscritic family of Languages, as kh, gh,th,etc. The "Superior" vowels are used to express " Glides ' or Indistinct YowTel-Sounds ; the " Superior ' y (or the cognate vowel i) is used after a back or middle-mouth Con- sonant, to soften it, and so to constitute what is culled The Palatal Consonants, as Span. anJ'o, or au*o (for ano, A YEAR), ITr. family or famiy (for famitte, FAMILY), etc. The Sanscritic " Cerebrals," The Se- mitic " Gutturalizations," the Zulu " Clucks," and some other of the rare phenomena of speech are provided for by Special notations, for which see " The Universal Alphabet." CHAPTER VIII. CONTINUED EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND METHOD OF ALWASO WOKD-BUILDING. 157. In order to a further expansion of the results of what has been previously shown, it will be requisite, now, in part to recall, and in part to state anew, certain preliminary considerations : 1. The Diphthong^ au, (pronounced ah-oo) may be adjoined to each Conso- nant-Sound, as a Yowel-stem such as is necessary to a full exhibit of the Consonant value (92, 94, 109, 126.) This has been already done, in a preliminary man- ner. 2. It must be known that each Consonant- Sound has, first a Direct Value or Meaning (such mainly as has been shown in the preceding Tables), and, then, an Inverse, Counter-, or Reflected Value or Mean- ing— according as the Consonant precedes or follows the Vowel-Stem. Thus, auk is the Inversion or Counter-presentation of kau. The Consonant has, in other words, a Final Volne, which is the opposite of its Initial Value. 3. It is to be observed that each Root-word which has in it the Diphthong au (ah-oo) or iau (ee-ah-oo), that is to say, a* representing lie whole Voir.-t-Sculf, is, consequently, a Fasciculated or FASCICULATED ROOT-WORDS. 125 Bundle-Root- Word, which breaks up by Analysis into a Series of Eleven (or including the au, Tiveln1, and including iau, Thirteen) Single or Special Boot- Words, one for, and containing, each single Vowel and Diphthong, so represented. To illustrate : Auski, (ah-oo-skee), is Philosophy in a very ex- tended but yet in an Ordinary or Non-Transcendental Sense ; and Aunski, (ah-oon-ski), is Cardinary or Transcen- dental Philosophy ; the Absolute or Pure-Reason- Variety of Knowledge. 157. Auski, (ah-oo-skee), then divides into : Iski, (ee-skee), Ordinary Ontology (The Science of Things.) Eski, (a-skee), Ordinary Eelatology (The Science of Relations between Things.) Aski, (a(ir)-skee), Etherialogy (The Science of Ethers, Aromas, Auras, and the Analogously tenuous Realities in the Universe.) Aski, (ah-skee), Mdterioid SUBSTAN-CE-OLOGY (but PhilosopJioid, or Indeterminately Considered) — Ordinary Metaphysics or Philosophy ; NATURO-METAPHYSIC, o5? Indeterminate NATUROLOGY ; (The Philosophy of the Mere Inert Grossness.) £7ski, (tth-skee), Temporalogy, the Science of Sufilif- nary Eventualities ; of Transitory, Passing-away, or Currental Conditions ; Mortalities, etc. Oski, (aw-skee), Spa-ce-ology, The Science of Ce- lestialities, SPIRITUALITIES, of Spheral and Firmtt- mental Permanencies, or Perpetuities, Immortalities, etc. 126 ORDINARY PHILOSOPHIES. Oski, (o-skee), Ideo-Morphology ; Science of Ideas as Types of things ; of the Platonic " Ideas ; ' of Type-Forms, in Science — Richard Owen ; SCIENTO- PHILOSOPHY, Indeterminate SCIENTOLOGY, based on the Abstract T}7pical Representation of Principles and Laws ; Pure Scientific Theory. Uski, (oo-skee), Actualogy ; Science of the Practical, or of Real Activities ; Practical Philosophy; ARTO- PHILOSOPHY ; Indeterminate ARTOLOGY. luski, (ee-oo-skee), Conjuncturology, Eventuology, Transitology ; Science of Conjunctures (Lat. con, WITH ; and jungere,TQ JOIN), of Epochs, Climacterics, Transitions, Critical, Transitional, or Supreme Events ; of Births and Deaths ; of Marriages, Copulations, Reconciliations and Alliances ; of Inosculations, Im- pregnations and Reproductions, universally. Oiski, (aw-ee-skee), Super(n)ology; Science of Over- shadowings, Canopies, Coverings, Protections ; of Divine Efflux and Spiritual Generative Eorce ; of Male Potentialities, etc. Aiski, (ah-ee-skee), Infer(n)ology ; Science of Suc- cumbencies ; Bases, Grounds ; Receptivities-aiid-Re- actions ; Concubinisnis, Conceptions, Pregnancies and Prolifications ; of all Earth-and-womb-like Ca- pacities and Potencies ; of Female Qualifications and Attributes, etc. Auski, (ah-oo-skee), PHILOSOPHY in the sense so general as to include all the preceding so-called Sciences or Branches of Theory and Knowledge ; The Vague or Inexact Aspect of Human Knowledge, generally; although, at i (ee), and o, The CARDINAEY PHILOSOPHIES. 127 nafe approximates the Determinate, or Eckosophic, (The Articulateness of the Consonants ; as These Two Vowel- Sounds are, among the Yowels, the nearest approxi- mations to the Consonants, and so generate the Weak Consonant-Sounds y and w). Indeed, in the i (ee), as THING in se (or per se) is the Natural Basis of all Reality, and hence of all Determinateness, and in the o, as MANIFESTATION IN IDEA, Presentation, or Re- presentation, is the Natural Basis of all Lucidity of Exposition, and hence of Science itself in its highest expression ; or more properly of the Philosophy of Science, or of, in a word, SCIENTO-PHILOSOPHY. 158. Finally, Aunski, (ah-oon-skee), then subdivides, in like manner, into Inski, Enski, Anski, etc., which re- peat the same Grand Departments of Philosophy as in the subdivisions of auski (ah-oo-skee), with the sole difference that they pass over from the Empirical or Ordinary to the purely Rational, Oar dinar y, or Transcendental regions of Thinking. It will * suffice to give some idea of the whereabouts of these subtle departments of Thought, to suggest that Fichte modulates in Inski ] the Doctrine of Pure Transcen- dental INTELLIGENCE ; Hegel in that of Enski, the Doc- trine of Pure Transcendental THOUGHT-RELATION(S) (Dialectics) ; Schelling in that of Ienski, (a seeking to Unite The Thing and the Relation, the Subject and the Object in a common Ground) ; The Her- metics, Mystics, and Magi in A"s\d ; the Great bulk 1 When a Science is abstruse and subtle, note the corresponding difficulty in the pronunciation of the word which names it, AlwalL 128 ORDINARY AND CARDIXARY. of the more Ordinary Transcendental Philosophers in Anski ; the Experientialists in £7"ski, Tho Idealists in 0"ski, Plato in Onski, Charles Fourier (Transcen- dental Practical Philosopher) in Unski, etc. To Kant may be assigned the whole range of Aunski, or Transcendental Philosophy. The i (ee) and o, pass- ing, by merely more stress or pressure (a squeezing process), into y and w, Schelling (ien— yen) was the only German Transcendentalist who went so far towards Mysticism as to affiliate with Jacob Boahme, and Plato by the similar tendency of his Yowel (o) to become w (o-au=wau) holds a corresponding re- lationship to Swedenborg, the great Theandrologist and Pneumatologist, or the Prince of Theological and Spiritual Science mixed with Mysticism; (Modulating in ?6'au,?/au,^au, or, in a word, in Hwaunio.) 159. Is it any wonder that a staunch Echosophist like Herbert Spencer, (modulating in shaup and zhaub, or pf and bv) has but little comprehension of, and finds nothing to admire in Hegel, for example, (in e11), whose range of thought was so different from his own ; or that Auguste Comte (in mlau) should feel so little sym- pathy for the Metaphysicians, even those to whom he was so greatly indebted. It will be the sublime of- fice of Universology to interpret all these conflicting systems of Thought to each other ; reconciling and co- ordinating them all in a Higher Complex Unity ; and in effecting this GRAND EECONCILIATION Alwato will serve as one of the most effective Instruments. (For the letter-references not explained above — shaup, zhanb, mlau — see 138, 139, and Chapter FASCICULATED ROOT-WORDS. 129 160. The subjoined list of Alwaso words consists of Fasciculated (or Bundle-) Boot- Words, (each dissolv- able into Twelve, according to the preceding model.) They are given in their Plural Forms, the Singulars being readily inferred, by rejecting the Signs of Plurality. These signs are -s (sometimes -z), or' when requisite, to facilitate the utterance -es (or -ez), as in English. Whether as bundled or dissolved, as singular or plural, these very primitive words do not figure so much as Actual Single words of the Alwaso language (although they occur in this way), as they do, as Abstract Hoots (as in the Sanscrit), capable of being converted into any Part of Speech, by Special Affix or Suffix, or by the Context merely ; and capable of entering, with infinite variability, into the composi- tion of the less elementary or more elaborate words. Fasciculated (or Bundle-) Hoot-words arise, then, of the following orders : Aus, (ah-oos), ORDINARY. Idealities, (Unlimited, Inde- terminate), Proto-pragmata or First Entities (i, Being, e, Relation, o, Space, etc.), Sensuously realized. Auns, (ah-oons), CARDINARY (or Transcendental) Realities — the same as aus, but rationalized or enter- tained in the Reason. (Aus, Integral Entities, Wholes ; aus, Fractional Entities, Parts ; aas or aus Equalities ; aus or aus Inequalities ; Odd Things, Odd-like properties, actions, etc. Observe that au,ia (ah-oo-ee-ah) Or- dinariness and aunia (ah-oon-ee-ah) Cardinariness hold an echoing relationship to Ordinal Numbers and Cardinal Numbers, respectively, in the Mathematics ; 130 BUNDLE-EOOT-WORDS. I that aii,ia, (ali-66-ee-ali), Wholeness (of Reality), and au,ia (ah-bb-ee-ah) Partness (of the Bealify), have similar correspondences, respectively, with Integral and Fractional Numbers ; and that Inequality and Equality in mere Length of Vowel-Sounds echoes in like manner to the difference between Odd and Even Numbers. It is at this point that the Analogy between the Elements of Speech and Elementary Mathematical Dis- criminations begins to occur. It is barely noted here for reference, explanation, and expansion elsewhere.) Kaus (kah-oos), kauts (kah-oots), or kautos (kah- oo-tos), Single or Simple abstractoid liniar PARTINGS or Parts. (Cf. Eng. Cats, Cuttings.) Taus, (tah-oos), Single or Simple abstract point- like UNITINGS, as of any two different Attributes or Qualities in the Constitution of the (ideal abstract) Thing or Object; togethernesses, wholenesses, Things. (Cf. French tout, ALL.) Paus, (pah-oos), Single or Simple abstractoid liniar- PARTiNGS-a?icZ-point-like-UNiTiNGS ; single HINGINGS viewed from the Flanges to the Bivet-and-joint ; or Single Triangulations viewed from the Legs to the Apexes (or Apices) of the Angles ; Converging or diminishing Conicities ; Comings or bringings to a Point, whence POSITINGS, pointings. (Puts, Puttings.) T, k, and p hold the relation to each other of as 1. Centre, Absolute POINT (the t) ; 2. Cut and hence LINE (the k) ; and 3. Relative POINT, Index, Pointer, the Diminishing End of a cone, a?r/, ,io (139.) These, again, subdivide immediately into their own Abstracts or Concretes, respectively. Within the Concretismus, fo.r example, all Light, Thin, or Attenuated and Trivial Objects, and markedly such as, by some other quality than massiveness or weight, attest inherent power ; as the gases and cutting edges above cited (170) ; echo, from their place in the Concrete world (for such objects are still concrete), to the Entire Pure - act W<>il, ekso, akso, etc. These special roots are also varied in respect to the length of the vowel, ki or ik, ki or ik, etc. Kiso (indifferent as to the length of the vowel) means cutting along (lengthwise), as the edge of a knife, or as a geometrical line produced. kiso, the same as kiso, but with prominence given to the idea of continuity or persistency in the action, kiso, the same as kiso, but fractionally, or the action suddenly or shortly interrupted. kin, (Eng. keen), relating to the sharp edge, or to that which cuts. ikso, counterparting, at the end, lengthwise, (cf. Eng. eke, to piece out at the end.) ikso, the same protended or continued, ikso, the same, but sudden or abrupt. Keso, (ka-so) cleaving or separating sideidse. keso, the same plus idea of continuousness. keso, the same, but sudden or abrupt, ekso, counterparting, liniarly, at sides, or side- wise ; hence collateral. ekso, counterparting, liniarly, at sides, or side- l)ij-side, and continuously, or in a steady, equal manner ; with the relation prolated or " pro- duced ; y' hence PARALLEL. ekso, counterparting, linially, and collaterally (as collateral lines, or the legs of a triangle), but in an abrupted manner, as, by their converging, 164 PARALLELISM AND RECTANGULAPJTY. * the legs of a triangle intersect and limit each other ; hence ANGULAR, (cf. Ger. ecke, AN ANGLE.) ekia, or ekizm, parallelism, ekia, or ekizm, angularity, ekto, an angle, ekso, or ekioso, angular, twekso, (t, at, w, wingness; folded- wing-posture), acute-angular. pwekso, (p, hingeness with an implication of openness, cf. Lat. pandere, TO OPEN ; Eng. open ; open-wing-posture), o&£wse-angular. kwekso, (k equal cut ; half-ness ; half-expanded- wing-posture), RECTANGULAR ; or rek meaning straight (r break, e side, and k cut for straight edge), rekti,ekso, or rekti, ekioso, rectangular. kwekia, or rekti, ekia, or rekti,ekloia, rcdangular- ity. gekioso, direct-and-reversed angularity as in the checker.. thekioso, decussation- angular ; (double apices.) 197. Perhaps no severer test could be applied to a new language claiming to be a DISCOVERY, not an in- vention, than to demand of it accurate terms signify- ing Parallelism and RectangiHarity. These two ideas are the Core of Scientific Exactification. The Rectan- gular it y and Cubic Dimensions of the New Jerusalem, seen prophetically in vision by John, the revelator, on Patrnos (Revelations, v. 16, cli. xxi.) has come under consideration elsewhere. (B. O. Index.) 198. The ideas named by the preceding list of words are such that each one might bo delineated dirtc/£-ward position corresponds with Pa*t Time, as the Past is behind us ; Front-ynml position corresponds with the Future, as the Future is before us ; and Mufinn/ position, bvlin-'. n the other two, cor- responds with Pi't'Ht'iit Time, or the Now. 202. In accordance with these simple facts -a (-ah) ALWASO VERB ENDINGS. 167 as a Verb-ending denotes Past Time (or action), -o the Future, and i (-ee) the Present. In other words, i (ee), a (ah), o, are the terminations of all verbs, for signify- ing the Present, the Past, and the Future Tenses, re- spectively— as the Three Basis Tenses of tl^e Yerb. A repetition of these Yowels distributes the Tenses into a Relative Past, Present, and Future (called Per- fect, Imperfect, etc.) The vowel -u (-66) is the ending for the Imperative Mood (third Person) ; otherwise the Root-word serves for the Imperative ; -u also denotes the Subjunctive Mode, and receives the Pivotal Vow- els added for its Tenses ; and -i,e (ee-a) denotes the Conditional or Optative — an assumed state (-e) of be- ing present (-i), the e serving for resultant state — see the Participles. The ending -ya denotes the Infinitive. 203. The Personal Pronoun I is, in Alwato, yo, or io, as in Spanish and Italian (y, radiating centricity, i, cen- tral being, and o, presence.) For a verb-stem we may assume the English word speak, merely changing the spelling of it to spik, for while a word wrought out from Alwaso Elements to mean the same might serve, it is equally permissible to naturalize adopted citizens, in the New Word-Republic, from any of the existing languages, only requiring of them to con- form, in decency of appearance (their orthographic dress), and in their relations with the natives (their prepositions, verb-endings, etc.), to the constitution and laws of the New Domain. These two words, to- gether with the Verb-endings shown in the last pre- ceding paragraph, suffice, to exhibit substantially the whole Conjugation of the Verb, as follows : 168 CONJUGATION OF THE ALWASO VERB.

" Universology is a Science which — owing to its peculiar character, the extent of its subject-matter, the intricacy and complexity of its applications, and the importance of its influence upon the interests of Humanity — is beset, in the labor of making it under- stood and appreciated, with difficulties commensurate with its vastness. If the discovery of an isolated fact or principle be not easy of exposition and com- prehension, the difficulty in the case of Universology is enhanced by so much as the whole is greater than a part. The problem is the more severe owing in part to the fact that the extreme simplicity of the fun- damental aspect of the discovery is such that it is exceedingly difficult first to apprehend it, and then to express it in intelligible language ; and in part to the novelty of view which the student is called upon to take of facts and phenomena with which he is al- ready to a considerable degree familiar .... This discovery has, therefore, a twofold character. It is not only a Science vast as the Universe in its scope, but a Method of Scientific Procedure capable of application to every domain of Thought and Being, in the new in- vestigations which will ever be demanded in exploring new special departments of Being .... It is proper to notice here one of the more immediate and iin- 192 PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. portant results of the application of the Science — namely, the discovery of a Scientifically constructed Universal Language. The necessity for such a lan- guage, as one of the exigencies of the Science, is patent, as, without a Universal Language, Universal Science would be destitute of its proper adequate Terminology." 2. By Kev. EDWARD B. FREELAND : 240. "Looking at Universology from the same point of view in which this celebrated Naturalist (Agassiz) regards Classification, we may announce it as the complete discovery and perfect interpretation of l the Deity in creation,' and the entire unfolding of 'the creative plan of God,' not only as expressed in ' or- ganic forms,' but as involved" in every Sphere of Thought and Being in the Universe of Matter and of Mind." 3. By DAVID HOYLE : 241. " With the Evolution of this Science is inaugu- rated, if I mistake not, a new era in the history of the world, and one transcending, in the importance of its results, any by which it has been preceded. It possesses potency sufficient, under enlightened direc- tion, peacefully and beneficently to revolutionize the world in all its domains, whether Ideal, Physical, Social, Moral, Political, or Religious ; and the results of its application, in the solution of Problems within these departments of Being, will exceed those here- tofore attained by blind efforts merely, in proportion to the power of ;icliievement which methods of PUBLISHER'S CIRCFIAR. 193 Scientific Exactitude possess over tlie incertitude and failure of perpetual guessing and believing. It is, in fine, the Sublime Expounder of the Universe of God ; and the means of the eventual introduction of the Race to a Paradisic Existence whose pleasures will transcend the highest imaginings of so-called Utopian dreamers." 4. By J. WEST NEVLNS. 242. "A Universal Philosophy, and its absolute ap- plication in a Positive Science, whose demonstrations shall be beyond the reach of question, must be the preliminary theoretical step, [to the practical regen- eration of the race.] The tools must first be fur- nished with which the work is to be done. Such is Universology, the Science of the Whole Universe, or the Positive and Rational Revelation of the Organic Laws of Thought and Being by means of their Cor- respondences, or of the Grand Pervading Analogies between them." 5. By Prof. A. F. BOYLE : 243. " I feel as if the world wants it at just this nick of time, and that it will, in the end, prove to be just the book that should have been written, even if it have, for the first year or two, only a dozen readers who fully appreciate it." NOTICES OF THE PRESS. "A NEW SCIENCE." 244. " On Thursday evening, before the Polytechnic Branch of the American Institute (Cooper Institute Building), a lecture, every way remarkable, was de- 194 PUBLISHERS CIRCULAR. livered by Stephen Pearl Andrews. It purported to be upon the Unity of the Sciences, but it was, in fact, the first public announcement and exposition before the scientific world of the nature of what Mr. An- drews claims to be a new science, the most important of the sciences, and a science inclusive of and under- lying all the other sciences. From time to time, during the last five or ten years, the public have been made aware, through partial announcements or intimations, that Mr. Andrews was devoting himself to an unusual series of scientific and philosophic in- vestigations which looked to the discovery of some recondite ground of unity between all the sciences. A series of articles by him and by his coadjutor, Edward B. Freeland, published in The Continental Monthly, three or four years ago, upon branches of the subject, attracted considerable attention. The New Science, or that which is claimed to be such, is denominated UNIVERSOLOGY. One of the branches of the discovery is said to be the basis of a new Scientific Universal Language, which, it is supposed, will be ultimately the vernacular of the world. The lecture, or entertainment, of last evening consisted mainly of readings from the Introduction to the Fundamental Exposition of the New Science, which, we understand, is now in type, and will be forthcom- ing at an early day, as a bulky volume filled with diagrams and demonstrations. The introduction is in turn made up of a series of papers or special in- troductions by five or six other writers than Mr. Andrews, who have studied, and more or less tlior- PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. 105 oughly mastered the new science, and who belong, it is said, to an incipient University which the new scientific discovery has already been the means of organizing. The claim is certainly sufficiently ex- traordinary to excite general attention, and the wri- ters in question, it must be confessed, give the im- pression of being men who understand themselves and their subject ; but a mere introductory statement is necessarily general, and for that reason, in a sense, vague. The exact nature and scientific validity of this supposed discovery of universal scientific prin- ciples could only be judged of after the most thor- ough opportunity should have been granted to make the exhibit, and it is to be hoped that the American Institute which has been established to render pre- cisely this kind of service to the community, will not fail to get to the bottom of this extraordinary claim." —From the N. T. Tribune (April 3, 1868). 245. " A paper was then read by Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, upon a new science, under the name of UNIVERSOLOGY, which had received his attention, with that of others, for the past five years. The gentle- man first spoke of the embarrassment he felt regard- ing the proper method of presenting his subject, as a generalization would perhaps only expose him to the charge of entertaining speculative opinions ; while, on the other hand, he could not be expected to gire an exposition of the science in the space of one evening, as the claims of Universology were of un- paralleled extent and importance. He stated that 196 PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. there was a work upon the subject in type, which would comprise some 900 pages, explanatory of the science ; he should therefore simply rely for first im- pressions upon statements contributed to this book by those who have had opportunity to know of the nature of the science, in preference to his own affir- mation of its value. The immensity of the field, the necessity for lucidity, and the novel character of the scope of investigation, together with many other things, made the problem of presentation one of ex- treme difficulty. The speaker then remarked that it is obvious, on reflection, that there must be a science of the universe as such, distinguished from the spe- cial sciences of the parts, or of the spheres, or do- mains of the universe ; and yet the very idea is one which is hardly entertained with any clearness of conception in the scientific world. 246. "All Pldlosopluj has, indeed, aimed, in a sense, at this result, but the methods of Speculative Philos- ophy are too vague to satisfy the demands of the Scientific World, and in the sense of a Science ^prop- erly so called the idea of anything Universal has been almost entirely wanting. The Scientific men are Specialists. Their labors are as if a colony of learned ants were to have undertaken the investigation of the Human Body. One section of the little Com- munity devotes itself to the exhaustive examination of a finger nail, another to that of a lobe of the ear, another to that of the hair of the beard, and others to the investigation of all the various parts and or- gans and systems segregated and mjardcd sinyly ; but PUBLISHERS CIRCULAR. 197 they have been so busy in these special and minute examinations, that it has never occurred to any one of them to guess even, or, in any event, to give due consideration to the fact, that all of these various subjects are the parts and constituents of 'a Man ; a ad that, therefore, the first thing to know, logically speaking, in order to know anything rightly, of these particular subjects, is the General Design and the Exact Outlay of the Man himself." (B. O. Introduc- tion.)— From the Hird:iy Journal UNIYERSOLOG-Y, ALWATO. 247. " Last evening, before the Polytechnic branch of the American Institute, Stephen Pearl Andrews oc- cupied the evening in making an extended prelimi- nary statement of what is claimed to be a new sci- ence, which he denominates Universology, and one of the results of which is to be a new scientific universal language, to be called Alwato. Sufficient enthusiasm was excited to draw from the learned body, contrary, we believe, to their usage, a vote of thanks in behalf of Mr. Andrews for the able papers read by him. This was not, we understand, to be considered as an approval of the extraordinary claims of that gentleman, but as a recognition of the able manner in which he had stated the claims and made his introductory exposition. We have several years since called attention to the fact that Mr. Andrews was engaged upon inquiries of this sort. With the appearance of this book, now going through 198 PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. the press, the public will have the opportunity to judge of their value. 248. " The term Universology is liable to objection among the learned, on the ground of its hybridity, but no 'more so than sociology, which has now be- come current. The objection has, we understand, been well considered by Mr. Andrews, and he prefers to incur it rather than to adopt a more classical but • less popularly intelligible name. The name bestowed on the new language, wrought out from the language itself by its own laws, is Alwato, pronounced Ahl- wah-to. The public will await with interest the further development of these important statements and claims." — From the Evening Post. 249. " NEW YORK POLYTECHNIC. — Last evening the usual routine of proceedings at the weekly meetings of this useful institution were varied by the introduction of a subject, which may prove to be something of real importance. Stephen Pearl Andrews made be- fore this body the first formal announcement of the discovery of a new science. He read, from the in- troduction to a forthcoming work, an elaborate state- ment of the domain and nature of the science in question ; and notwithstanding the novelty and strangeness of the claim he presents, it would hardly be possible that a deeper impression should have been made by the exposition of a single evening. It is true, the principles of the science itself were not reached ; but a very clear case was made out to the PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. 199 extent that there is room in the nature of things for precisely such a science as it is claimed is now dis- covered, and that there ought to be, if there is not, precisely such a discovery. The new science, so claimed to be, is denominated ' Universology,' and is said to have the same relation to the universe, as a whole, as that which any special science now holds, or has held, to its own special domain. The lecturer goes so far as to propose the introduction of a scien- tifically constructed universal language with a uni- versal alphabet." — From the Sun. 250. "A NEW SCIENCE. — A lecture was delivered last evening before the members of the American Insti- tute, by STEPHEN PEARL ANDREWS, on " The Unity of the Sciences." The speaker claimed to have dis- covered an entirely new science, as exact and pro- found as logic or mathematics, and even more far- reaching and inclusive than either of them, or than any other science. He endeavored to show that there is, in fact, only one science, of the principles of which all the special sciences are merely particular modifications or instances. Mr. ANDREWS affirms that heretofore there has not been a single universal prin- ciple known in positive science, and that conse- quently science is yet in the chaotic or fragmentary stage of its development. The new science is to supply this defect, and to base all the known sci- ences, and, indeed, all possible sciences, upon an a priori knowledge of exact scientific laws of uni- 200 PUBLISHER'S CIRCULAR. versal application, whether in the department of matter or that of mind. Upon this new science he bestows the name of ' Universology,' or the Science of the Universe. As a branch of it he also an- nounces the discovery, and, to a great extent, the elaboration, of a new scientific universal language. Mr. ANDREWS' audience appeared to be deeply inter- ested in his theories." — From fhe N. Y. Times. SUBSCRIPTION SHEET FOB THE BASIC OUTLINE OF UNiVERSOLOGY, ARRANGEMENT OF THE WORK. I. The Text; II.

Whether this Treatise shall meet at once with the wel- come reception and grateful appreciation of many minds — the an- ticipation of which has served to brighten my solitary path in the deep recesses of abstract contemplation for thirty years — the event alone can determine The Signs of the Times may in- dicate, and Science may confidently predict ; but the prevision of Science, in this behalf, is not yet perfectly secured from the possi- bility of error. The Principles of Universology are held to be in- fallible ; but no personal infallibility is claimed for its exponent " — [An extract from the work.'] All names received in season will, unless ordered to the contrary, be placed in the printed list, now being prepared, of the first patrons of the work.
