, We shall now quote a few passages from the re view, in proof of the theory-phobia of its reverend author. The author of the " Vestiges" says, reasoning, 'of course, from analogy, that "organic matter must be everywhere the same;"" and, again, "that the inhabitanta of all the globes, probably, bear not only a general, but a particular 'resemblance to our own, as the whole of creative arrangements are in perfect unity." But let us hear how these very harmless, and really inoffensive, speculations are handled by the reviewer. " Wehave no softer words (says he) to explain our meaning, when we call this kind of language the raving madness of hypothetical extravagance. It is at open war with all the calm lessons of inductive truth, and, on any interpretation we can give of it, bears on its front the stamp of folly, and irreverence towards the God of nature." R., p. 25.
