40 ページ - Spiritus intus alit: totamque infusa per artus ' Mens agitat molem, et magno se corpore miscet ' Inde hominum pecudumque genus vitaeque volantum ' Et quae marmoreo fert monstra sub aequore pontus.
148 ページ - ... no control, either broken or deranged, a thousand movements might instantly be interrupted, and our bodies left to crumble into the dust. It was considerations of this kind that led the celebrated physician Galen, who was a sceptic in his youth, publicly to acknowledge that a Supreme Intelligence must have operated in ordaining the laws by which living beings are constructed. And he wrote his excellent treatise " On the uses of the parts of the human frame," as a solemn hymn to the Creator of...
75 ページ - ... they would then see equal reason to believe that mind might be superadded to life, as life is to structure. They would then, indeed, still farther perceive how mind and matter might reciprocally operate on each other by means of an intervening substance. Thus, even, would physiological researches enforce the belief which, I may say, is natural to man — that, in addition to his bodily frame, he possesses a sensible, intelligent, and independent mind ; an opinion which tends, in an eminent degree,...

Mr. Hunter, who so patiently and accurately examined the different links of this great chain, which seems to connect even man with the common matter of the universe, was of this opinion.
38 ページ - When therefore we perceive in the universe at large, a cause of rapid and powerful motions of masses of inert matter, may we not naturally conclude that the inert molecules of vegetable and...
61 ページ - ... principle of life and action, and a sentient and rational faculty, all intimately connected, yet each apparently distinct from the other. " So intimate, indeed, is the connection as to impose on us the opinion of their identity. The body springs and bounds as though its inert fabric were alive, yet we have good reasons for believing that life is distinct from organization. The mind and the actions of life affect each other. Failure or disturbance of the actions of life prevent or disturb our...
72 ページ - I said in the beginning, to be solicitous to think correctly. Opinions are equally the natural result of thought, and the cause of conduct. If errors of thought terminated in opinions, they would be of less consequence ; but a slight deviation from the line of rectitude in thought, may lead to a most distant and disastrous aberration from that line in action.
