the third and fourth generations" of those who violate the mental laws and actions of the human mind, which are the laws of God. And when the process of forestalling the counseling faculties, without instructing them intelligently, is continued for some two thousand years, it is clearly self-evident that the follies and foibles accumulated in the mental magazine, forces the counseling faculties out of balance, and impels volition to execute the errors of intellectual accumula, and drives the human mind into a condition of error, superstition, and intellectual bondage.

In order to reclaim these unbalanced, alternating faculties from that which their own organism and misdirected intelligence have forced upon them and constructed into the imagery of the intellect, it has been customary and fashionable among all nations and in all ages, to rear churches and theatres, pulpits and stages, for the sublime purpose of forestalling these counseling faculties with the rhetorical flourishes of intellectual imagery, without instructing them systematically, scientifically, and intelligently. In like manner,

had my intellectual dominion been converted into a patent office, then the counseling faculties would have been engaged in manufacturing copy-rights, for the purpose of selling other men's thoughts, and the convolutions of the brain would be a plagiarizing machine, symbolizing poetry and prose; and as the principle was discovered over eighteen hundred years ago, upon which intellec tual philosophy is based, and taught in parables, science could claim no discoveries or originalities; and as the passing age is distinguished by forcing all principles, properties, actions, and conditions connected with nature, into the ranks of science, all that was required of my intellectual dominion, and demanded by this age of utilitarianism, was to let science use the intellectual faculties in copying the symbols of her investigations, alternating between cause and ef fect. Having for a succession of years been engaged in developing mental manifestations, by forcing the faculties obediently to manipulations, scientifically, all of which qualified the counseling. faculties, acting under the control of science and

her rules of action, to investigate the intellectual laboratory-its powers, constructive resources, modus operandi, and propagandi-compatible with principle, law, and construction, the mental mechanism was thereby forced, but not coaxed, to yield up its secrets to the acute and penetrating eyes of science, without calling upon books, opinions, doctrines, and dogmas of others, producing no other result than that already accomplished, viz. :—that of manufacturing intellectual imagery and parables.

But the object of these pages is to classify mental and theological philosophy, with the philosophy of mathematics, and, by the force of science, compel them to rest on a solid basis, and on a real principle, which is discovered to exist in nature. The basis in nature upon which these sciences are founded, are principles in nature— eternal and progressive; and the conventional axioms which constitute the basis of all the sciences, are, also, eternal and unchangeable truths; consequently, the mental, theological, and mathematical sciences, are true to the axioms upon

which they are based; in like manner, also, the axioms are true to the principles upon which they are founded, and a principle is an eternal and progressive individuality of truth, which reflects the power, glory, grandeur, and wisdom of its origin. The conceptions of a form, and the unerring actions of its law, originate in the divine intellect is constructed into a principle in nature by the divine will-progresses, by form and by law, in harmony with other individualities-and is classified by occupying space, individuality, identity, locality, and extension, and also has a property, action, or condition connected with, and belonging to, it; therefore, the mental, mathematical, and theological sciences, are based upon solid principles, individualized and localized. And as these individualities are eternal identities of truth, so also must the axioms representing the properties, actions, and conditions connected with, and belonging to, these localized identities, be eternal and unchangeable, until a principle progresses from a lower to a higher state of organism; and, consequently, these axioms are

simple, self-evident, and unchangeable conventionalities of eternal truth; and what science claims for one, she also claims for the other, namely, three sciences resting upon the conventional symbols of eternal and unchangeable truth.

And moreover, if nature manufactures a book, then read that book systematically, scientifically, intelligently; but if the intellectual faculties in counsel manufacture a book out of rags and written symbols, either with or without the aid of machine poetry or prose, read that book with care, or provide some one to translate it, expound it, and divide its contents, so as to suit the interest of both reader and hearer, which would constitute a genuine translation; provided, however, the original manuscripts be seized and destroyed, the remainder would constitute the intellectual imagery, which would authorize one party to preach a mystery, and the other to believe it and pay for it (Constantine); and consequently, if God be a personified identity, within the range of nature, then worship him, and obey his commandments and laws. But if machine books be
