taneous motion is going on, 47 I. Ιis origin must be explored, not by sight, butin the fame Way as that of the intercostat nerve, 472. It brings With it as many bundies as there are origins of natural motion in the body, ibid. Because it descendsas a single trunk on eaoli fide, it requires to be associaten throughout with the inter- costat nerve, to keep up iis supply of spirituous fluid, 473, 476. These two are like a married pair; the intercostat doing the hvsbanu's ossice; the par vagum, the Wila's, 474. Both are necessary, to subordinate and coordinate the natural motions, ibid. By descending as a single trunk, it produces concord among the diverse naturalmotions of the viscera, 474, 475. It acis everyWhere Dom causes arisine in the

PERFECTION. The greatest persection Os any entire, determined series, is Whenit correspondes to the perfection of the determining principie: but the highest perfection can only be predicated of it when the perfection of iis first determinant corresponds to the perfection of the first determinant in the worid, ΙΙ., 26. Themicrocosm and macrocosm are in themSelves most perfeci, but we are the cause Ofour OWn imperfection, II., 27. See Bruto, Man. PERICARDIUM. Ιt Obeys the motion Os the lungs and brains, 538. By means of the pericardium, the heari e oys a liberty of iis O n, and is enabled to moveachronousty with the lungs, 539. PHILOSOPHY : See Holy Scripture. PLAN, the author's, is, to premise the experience of the best authorities ; nextio form a generat induction ; and then to confirm this by the previOus eXperience, I 5. Aster proceeding analytically, the author changes the Order, and proceedS Domthe cauSes Hready arrived at, Or syntheticassy, 69. See Author. PLEASURE : see Cau*e. Cupidities and pleasures are harmiess in themselves, and Serve as the proper mel and incentives of bodily life , ΙΙ., 315, 316. ΡRIΝcIPLΕs. It is God who emprincipies the principies of things, 277 ; II., 2I7, 2I8. In thinhing of principies it is dissiculi to discard notions conceived Domenecis, II., 38. Certain things are more manifest Dom examples than DOm principies, II., 221, 301. See Animal Spirit, Cause. The principies belonging to the sciences, and whicli are in agreement With the truth of things, approach very nearly in their nature to the foui, II., 28 I. PRIOR, the, can eXist Without the posterior, but not vice verad, II., 27, 343. See Order, Series, SubStance. PROPER VES SELA OF ΤΗΕ HEARΤ : see Circulation, Coronam Venela, Embryo, mari. The refundent veneti are those whose blood received froin the fleshy ducis of the right auricle, circulates through the auricle, and is sOOn poured back into the fame : their blood perforins the shortest circuit of any, 408. The lest auricle also has refundent vesself, 408. ΑΗ soon as their blood is refunded, it is sent throughthe lungs, ibid. The retorquent veraeis arise froin the lacunae of the right ventricte, gain the surtace, and carry the bl ood back into the right auricle, 409. Their blood Visits the auricle and ventricle twice before it is sent to the lungs, ibid. It is doubt-ful Whether the lest ventricle has retorquent vesseis, or not, ibid. The anticipant ve8Sela belong particularly to the lest auricle, 410. They arise Dom iis muscular substance, and pour the blood directly through the two foramina into the aorta, pre- Occupying this vesset, since their blood does not pass into the lest ventricle, ibid. The transferent vesseis convey the blood froin the right ventricle tuto the coronaryarteries, and so into the vorta, 411. The transferent vesseis of the right auricle convey the blood into the aorta by a stili Ahorter passage, ibid. The retroferent

The transferent vesseis Ofthe right ventricle and auricle are the so- called coronary arteries, 413. They areanalogous in ossice to the foramen Ovale and ductus arteriosus, 407, 414, 415. Whenthe tranSferent vesseis are unduly numerous or open, it indicates a We , timid andvnsteady condition of miud and body, 419. When the retroferent vesseis are Verynumerous and open, it indicates firmness anu strength of the nervous and vascular Sy Stems, 420. When the refundent vesseis of the auricles are multiplied and expanded beyond due proportion, it signifies frequent changes of the body and animus, ibid. Irregular motions and impulses Occurring constantly, alter the very fabric of the heari, and superinduce a nature that rusties With bliud instinct into correspond-ing lusis, ibid. There is a great likeness belween the proper vesseis of the heari and of the brain, 424. PROVIDENCE. The circumstances exhibited in the formation os animuis in the Womb and egg, are plain proose of an infinite and omnipotent Divine Providence, 276, 277. Providetice is absolutely universal even in the merest particulars, 276. It is more becoming to be lost in mute astonishment at the wOnders of Providence, than to overburden Ourgelves With proOD Of iis existence, ibid. See Formatiηe Substance, Principie8. The providence Os man's reason is respectively nothing, while the providelice of God's wisdom is ali in all, 277. PsYcΠoLOGY is the firsi and last of the sciences that conduce to a knowledge of the animal economy, II., J. ΡULAE : See Alood, Circulation. The causes of the variation Of the pulse are internat and externat, 196, 404, 574. They cannot be obtained DOm particular, butonly Dom generat experience, 574. The doctrine of the pulse is the last that can becompleted, 574. ΡUNISHΜΕΝΤ. The penalty of transgression is derived Dom the parent to the Ompring, So far as relates to the body, but not SO far as relates to the foui, II., 317.

QUΑΝΤΙΤY. Μagnitude is inferior quantity ; multitude, superior quantity, I 77. There are three successive fluids as quantities in the animal kingdom, viz., the redhlood, the middie blood, and the spirituous fluid, II., 32.

RELATION : see Dependen e. That whicli is regarded by another ining, is priorto it, and that whicli regards another thing, is posterior to it, 229. RESPIRATION : See Animalion, Brain, Nose. During deep thought We breathethrough the mouth, and not through the nose, test the entering air should excite the brain, 263; ΙΙ., 67, 90, 91. The varieties of the respiratory motion are Sogreat as to appear irreconcitabie, 349. REVELATION. He is Wise Who knows With certainty that in divine things he canknow nothing beyond what is revealed, 283 ; ΙΙ., 202, 230, 237, 238, 239, 246,

247. See In sinite. The truth of nature and the truth of revelation are separate butnever at variance, II., 209, 230. SALIVA : see DigeStion.

Saline particles of Whatever degree are ali similarly cubical orpyramidat, hard or inert, immove te Without aqueous Or atmospherie SubStanees, fixed and fixating, inexpansisse und non-elastic, and they temper the fluidity ofactives , 54. The higher salts are more universat, Simple and perfeci than the loWer, ibid. See Destree. Salis of the lowest degree, by the interposition of particles of Water, auras, Oils and Spiriis, form est Linds of fixed salis, ibid. Salis of the Second degree produce otis, ibid. See Oil. The saline elements of the highest degree generate spiriis, ibid. See Spirit. Common sali is the mensure and type of the particles of liquids, 55, 65. The doctrine os salis is of high use and vastapplication, ibid. See Blood, Color, mat. The earthy and saline paris Of theblood are deposited at the mouilis of the vesseis where the division of the bio dbegitis, 63, IJ3, 167.

One science meeis and enlarges another, 6; II., 56. See Truth. The Sciences are an Ocean of which We can catch but a few drops, 10, 291. See Ancients, Moderny, Times. Νature operates in ali the perfection of nrt und sciencein the animal Lingdom, producing ali things that the public and the private weal require, 73; ΙΙ., 254-256. See Member. What constitutes life in the animal, constitutes life in the sciences relating to the animal, II., 108. To mount DOm theposterior to the prior sphere, we must advance through sciences und aris, rules and laws, II., 254. We have that Within us whose activity is essentiat science, and whose action embraces ait Science, ΙΙ., 256. See SouI. The Order of the universe teachesus the sciences, ΙΙ., 270. SECREΤ1ΟΝ and eXcretion are carried on in a triple Order, 127. Secretion talies place through stamina that issue Dom the minute arteries, 184. During the eXpansion Of the arteries these stamina are drawn into them, and forin considerable excipula, Which take up the serosity at the periphery of the current; and again Whenthe arteries contraci, these eXcipula beeOme tubules, and project their contenis, ibid. The mechanism Of Secretion dependΗ upon the circulation, ibid. , 19I, 320. See Ab*0ruelion, Circulation. During secretion and absorption, the artery and vetueXpei and absorb their liquids, not synchronously, but alternately, 185. Innumerable humors may be elaborated by secretion alone, 187. In extracting ali these, nature HSes but One method, vig., rejecis to the circumferences or parietes the least fluent subjeci, but contains the blood and the more suent in the median or aXillary line, ibid. , 320 ; II., 148.

Truly human brains have the pomer of blunting the externat senses, ΙΙ., Ι79, 263. Externat sensations reachno goal beyond the cortical spherules, II., I90. Νo individual part of the cerebrum corresponds to any sensorial Organ of the bOdy, but the cortical substance in generat Corresponds, II., I92. The Senses practise continuat and gross tricheries upon theminit, II., 199, 225. They exist for the Sahe of the foui, II., 222. They cannot discriminate the principat cause froin the instrumental, ΙΙ., 232. The Sout appears incomprehensibie and continuous to ali the lower sensortes, ΙΙ., 234. See Oryan.

SERIES : See Degree. Series embraee SucceSSively and simultaneousty things sub Ordinate and coordinate, ΙΙ., 4, 214. There are in the WOrid many series, universaland less universat, II., 5. The universe itSelf is the most universat series, ibid. This embraces three higher Series, and three lower, II., 6. The first is a series of substances simply derived froin the firsi substance by order of succession sinitesJ, ibid. The second is the series that the sanie substances constitute When len to them Selves, Or alloWed to gyrate, and comprises both the solar and the lower elementalfire factivesJ, ibid. The third is the series of the auras of the worid, arising Domthe union of the two former, as iis actives and passives elementsJ, ibid. Theminerat, vegetable and animal Lingdonis are the generat terrestriat series, ibid. Eachos the mundane series contains under it many proper and essenties series, and SO HSodoes each of the lalter series again, II., 7. There is nothing in the visibie Woridbut iS a series and in a series, II., 8, 213. The firsi substance of the worid is theonly one that does uot fati under the idea os series, ibid. Ali inings in the woridare Series, beginning in the first, and ending in the first, ibid. In equality, orwhere there is no series, nature perishes, ibid. See Order, Sub8lance. In every series there is a circle, through Whicli the srst thing has referetice to the last, and thelast to the frst, II., 20. Essences, attributes, accidenis, and qualities, are SerieS, and in a series, ΙΙ., 28. See Unit. There are series of tWO, three, Dur, Or more degrees ; Whicli accOrding as they a re corioined and communicate, are Series of morder, II., 214. SERUΜ. It surrounds the blood, and is the atmosphere in whicli the bisod sonis, and Dona whi h it oblatiis iis elements, 41. Such as the serum is, such is the blood, and vice veraὰ, ibid. The serum has in it ali the components of whicli the bio dis formed, ibid. , 42. It is a means exactly proportioned to the blood about tobe made, ibid. Spiriis, salis and olis of ali hinds are conveyed to it by the chyle, in Water as a vehicle, 42. Νitrous and volatile substances floating in the atmosphereare carried to it by the uir through the lungs, ibid. Stili more volatile substancesare conveyed into it through the ether Or purer air, 44. Urine, mucuS and sWeat reside in it, and try to intriade into the bl ood, 46. See Amod, Circulation, Venela. The blood sent si om the arteries into the vetiis is probably not quite purified stomSerum, 170. See Absorption, Artem, Secretion, Vein. SIΜPLE.

The predicates of the foui and of the formative substance are exactly coincident, 245 ;ΙΙ., 233, 234. See Substance. Nothing adequale can be predicated of the foui by the formulas of the lower degrees, 285 ; II., 203. See Degree, L e. Without amathematical philosophy of universias, and a doctrine of degrees, the manner in Whicli the first anu successive mutations are effectively producen in the formative SubStance Or Aoui, cannot be trealed OL ibid. ; II., 203, 206.

Andwithout ascending through the fame degrees by Whicli the foui, in the act of formation, descend s into the body, ibid. ; II., 203, 284. The mathematical doctrine ofuniversals is the mute language of the foui, by whicli it abstracis Dom ali things their nature and essence, and distributes Words into a quantity of quantities, II., 204, 205, 2I8.

Habitation and place, paris, magnitude, force and lam, may be predicated of the Foui as a substance, provided the properties be abstracted that are generaled in com- pounds, ibid. The foui is indefinitely finite, II., 238. It is Within nature, and below the firsi substance of the worid, ibid. , 297. A soul may be defined as a natural subjeci, accommodated at Once to the beginning of motion, and to the reception Os lise, ΙΙ., 240, 297. See God. Two distinct principies determine the spiritu-ous fluid Or Aoul; the one, naturat, enabies it to exist and be moved in the worid ;ine Other, spirituat, enabies it to live and be wise, ΙI., 249. of these a third, whichiS Properly the SOul's Own, is formed ; vig., a principie of determining itself intoactS, Suitably to the ends of the universe, ibid. Thus it determines itself into acts of itself, and regards ends beyond itself, ibid. This Ialter principie regards theearth, where the determination tulies place; hence the SOul, thus emprincipied, must descend by as many degrees as distinguisti the substances and forces of the woxid; and form a body adequale to each degree in Succession, ΙΙ., 250-253, 284. See Oryan. Ag the spirituous fluid is the foui, it is sented so high above ali the other faculties, that it is their order, truth, rute, science, laW, II., 254. The Soci naturallyis as it auis, II., 255. Iis office is to represent the universe; and this it does notonly naturassy, but intellectually, thereby representing the universe to itfeg, ΙΙ., 257. There re it represenis the causes and effecis of nature, as ends, ibid. Iis ossice also is, to be consciolis of ad things, and principalty to determine, II., 258. The Soul, as a substance, is kept within the limits of the body, ibid. It is distinctDOm, prior and Superior to, and more universat and perfeci than, the intellectualmind, ibid. Α notion of it can hardly be procured while me live in the body, II., 259. The first determination of the so ut is the mind ; the second is the animus ; thethird is the essenties body, II., 266. Degrees of persection are not to be predicatellof the foui, but of the organisms, II., 267. It is the ad in iis WhOle, or the Singularin iis universat, ibid. It descends with light and virtve into the miud, ΙΙ., 268, 272, 296, 297. Ιt grasps the lowest inings at the fame time as the highest, ΙΙ., 272. A single mode of the ear involves indefinite myriads of corresponding modes in thesoui, ibid. The foui does not floW so much into the sensations and perceptions Of iis organs, as into the formation and motive forces of iis body, II., 275. We must distinguish wed belween iis operations within the fibres, and iis operations Without them, ibid. See Fibre. From the very begrining of conception, the so ut is accommodated ut onoe to the beginning of motion, and tothe reception of life ; or to ali iis intuition and intelligetice, and these it takes With it, Dom the first stamen and earli est infancy, to the most extreme Oid age :but not so the mind, ibid. , 279-282. The observationes applied to life relatively to the foui, may be applied to the foui relatively to the mind and to sensations, II., 277, 278. See God. The foui is derived Dom the parent, but not Domthe mollier, II., 278. It acts as a mind in singulars ; as an animus Or Sight in Comparative generals; and as hearing, touch and taste, in positive general8, II., 282. It is not the wisdom, but the science of the wOrid, II., 284, 285. Were We bomin possession of the perfection and science of the foui, it is dotabiful whether either natural birili or death could take place; and certainly there Would be no thought, noSpeech, and no Society, ΙΙ., 285, 286.

In iis course into the basiat sinuses, it passes over the SOnOrous and vibratory regions at the base of the Ahuli and bordering the ear, and is actua ted by their motiolis, 343. There is nothing reatly substantial or alive in the animal kingdom but the spiritusus fluid in iis fibre and in the blood, 35I, 452, 487, 547 ;ΙΙ. , I 2, 25, 35, 181. Whereuer this fluid is not present, the brain is not present, ibid. The dentes of this fluid involves the dental of Hl the causes in the animal Lingdom, 453, ΙΙ., 2II. See Ganglia. To live in action it must be in a fibre, and be distinctly determined thereby, 487, 489; ΙΙ., 218. It is placed in a state os generat pressure by the animation of the brians, and the circulation thence arising, 493, 529. See Nereous Fluid. It is the ali in every pari, II., I b, 2b, 3b, I 8 I, 197, 211, 212. It is the simple and only substance of the animal kingdom, II., 35,197, 211, 212. All the Other substances are derived Dom it, ibid. , II., 197. It ismost perfectly determine d by the first aura of the worid, ΙΙ., 36, I 80, 195, 25 I. This empo ers it to be the formative substance of the body, II., 37. Whichinvolves lila, and consequently Soul, as the principie of the things existing in thewhole series, II., 38, 18 I, 195, 197. Μateriality cannot be ascriben to the humanspiritu us suid, ibid. , 180. It knows nothing of resiStance, Weight, Or liotneSS, ibid. , 180. It does not communicate with the body immediately, but mediately, through organie substances, II., 47. Our vlew of the circulation Os the animal spiriis is founded upon generat experience, ΙΙ., 139. It expires into the blood, ΙΙ., 152. The foui dwelis in it, II., 175. With those Who deny iis existence we holdno disputation, II., 179. It is not generaled Dom anything in the animal, Vegetabie, or mineres Lingdoms, II., 180. Iis formation cannot be understood Without the doctrine of series and degrees, and the philosophy of universias, ibid. , 2I6, 2I7,219. The proximate cause Os iis conception is the foui 's representation of her universe, ibid. Iis circulation is Dom the cortex into the universat fibres, froin the fibros into the bl ood, Dom the blood to the brain, and so bach to the cortex, ΙΙ., 181. It glances through every potnt, and continues, irrigates, nouriShes, renOVntUS, Drms, actuates and vivifies everything in the body, II., 181, 211, 212. In time, universality and excellence, iis circulation far precedes that of the red blood, ibid. The moments of this circulation are Synchronous with the respirations of the lungS, Which wondersutly concur to promote it, ΙΙ., 183. It involves nil things that ever

It is in the third degrest abovo thored blood, ibid. It enters the blood as the sirst, highest, inmost, remotest, and most perfeci substance and force Of iis body, the Sole and proper animal force, and tho determining principie of ali inings, ΙΙ., 214. It derives iis being Dom a stillhigher substance, and proXimately Dom those things on whicli the principies of natural things are impressed by the Dei ty, and in Whicli the most perfeci forces of nature a re involved, ΙΙ., 217-219. To the body it is the form of forms; to themicrocosm What the firSt aura is to the macrocosm, II., 219. It is the formative substance, II., 220. See Formative Substance. The bodily system exisis for thesake of it, II., 221. It can by no means be said to live ; much less, to Dei, per-Ceive, underStand, or regard ends, II., 223, 297. Yet it has a principie of life Doui the first Esse, in a Word, Dom the God of the universe, II., 228, 297. It is a substance with principies imprinted upon it, ΙΙ., 231. See Insium. On account of the influx of the Divine lise, whicli is the principes cause in the animate Lingdom, this purest fluid, Whicli is the instrumental cause, is the spirit and solii of the body;hence we cali it the spirituous suid, ΙΙ., 232-234.

Ιis first determination is the organic cortical substance ; iis neXt is the brain ; thethird is the body, ΙΙ., 266. In proportion as those things that are insinuated a pO8leriori approach in nature and essence to those that exist in the spirituous suid, thecommunication belween the foui and the body is opened, II., Ι 81.

INDEX OF SUBJECTS. Stances of series are not absolutely primitive and simple, but are so only in relationto the compounds of their series, ibid.; II., 13. The sirsi substance of Gery seriesis iis simplest und only substatice, and reigns in the Whole individual series, II., 12, 20. From it, and according to iis nature, proceed ali things that we see determinedin the entire series, II., 13, 20, 230, 23 I. From it, in SucceSSive Order, by combining media, more compound Substances are derived, Which are iis vicegerenis in the ultimates of the series, ibid. , 20, 230, 231. And so are determinant of the things existing in that series, ibid. By the determination Os these substances Others more compound are formed, and which are mediant and subdeterminant, II., 14. By the lalter the essentiai and proper series that constitute the integrat Series, are combinedand held together, ΙΙ., 15. Αnd this , AO perpetuatly and mutuatly, that no unconnected pari can be proper to the series ; whence coestabilShed harmony, ibid. , 20. See Harmonio Variety, Harmony. The simpler series and Substances ure rendered conscious os ali changes that happen in the compound, II., 21. Whateuer is determinen into net, is done either by the determination, Or With the concurrence and consent, of the Simpler Substances, II., 22. This talies place according to naturalorder, Dom a lower SubStance to the neXt higher, Or vice veravi but never Dom thehighest to the lowest except through the intermediates, II., 23. The Simple, compotirid, and more compound SubStances that are determinant of things in their series, in proportion to their simplicity or compoSition, are prior Or POSterior, Superior Orinferior, interior Or eXterior, remote Or proXimate, efficient causes Or esse is, ΙΙ., 24. Prior SubStaneeS Rre more univerSal, and more perfeci in every qualisy, than posterior, II., 25. As are the substances, So are ali their adjuncis, ΙΙ., 28, 288, 289. 1alter joinen to form is substance, ibid. The adjuncis of substances, like Substances themselves, admit os degrees of Simplicity, priori ty, height, inWardness, universality and perfection, II., 29. The higher adjuncis influence the loWer, and 8ice versὰ, according as the substances are formed, and as they intercommunicate,

Sible, und appear as continuous, to the sensory of lower things, II., 29. Those Occupying the loWer are comprehenSible, and appear as contiguous, to the SenSoryof higher things, ΙΙ., 30. The loWer regard the higher as analogues and eminenis, ibid. A higher substance is the analogue of the nexi lower; a stili higher, theeminent; a stili higher, the supereminent, ΙΙ., 31. See Agyrestates. The universalsubstance is the spirituous fluid ; the generat substance is the red blood, II., 198. Substances and their forces are regarded as identices, II., 214, 289. They discovertheir character by the mode of their forces, II., 216. See Insuae. Their quality is determined by their form, II., 231. Every prior substance represenis to itself iis posterior Substances, II., 257. And this representation extends as a cause to alicausates, ibid. The posterior also represenis the prior, the formula being true in cither direction, ibid. The mutations or accidents of substances do not extend ahair's-breadth beyond substances themselves, II., 271, 273, 274. See Ideas. SUCCRASIOΝ : see Embrys.
