"The topics upon the discussion of which I am about to venture, are far different from those which have hitherto engaged our attention. We are no longer to follow the career of the human mind, in its efforts to trace the laws of the physical universe. We stand with the philosopher and astronomer on the very apex of that stupendous pyramid, which human genius has reared by the protracted labor of six thousand, years. We are lifted far above the clouds of earth. An interminable vista, broad as the universe, illimitable as space, teeming with myriads of flaming orbs, rises up to meet our vision. We have attained to a knowledge of the potent laws which extend their dominion over these countless; millions." Digitized by Google.
