. Atlantic journal, and friend of knowledge [microform] : in eight numbers : containing about 160 original articles and tracts on natural and historical sciences, the description of about 150 new plants, and 100 new animals or fossils ; many vocabularies of languages, historical and geological facts, &c. &c. & Natural history; Indians; Sciences naturelles; Indiens. .â r». ^5-'.i**.:;.e SJi-. m^ i\'i m ih' n 4, 96 formed by elements: these are the various configurations of its parts. The souls arc particles emanated from the universal soul. They partake therefore of immor- tality: their annihilation is impossi- ble. Death is their passage from a body to another. Space is infinite. Time is infinite. God is infinite. Nature is incommcn!!urable: the plurality of worlds is evident. The smallest star is a sun similar to ours, shining over planets and worlds like ours. We revolve round the sun; they revolve round their suns. The sun, the stars, the moon, and the planets are globes. Our earth is also a globe. All the worlds have inhabitants like 09 unlike those of our globe. The souls*^travel from bodies to bodies, and from worlds to worlds. This is the spiritual metempsycho- sis or passage; the real palingenesy or renovation and resurrection. Every thing is pass^ageand renova- tion in nature and man. Such is the birth of man, his child- hood and his education. Such will be his death. Man will not be annihilated at this passage, nor die forever.; He will have many lives yet to go through. Rewards and punishments, await us in these after lives, according to our previous behaviour. God is good: men are wicked. Why so? Because God is perfect and men imperfect. The imperfections of men create moral evils and disorders. Philosophy ^nd wisdom correct these evtis and disorders. - Philosophy is not wisdom; but it leads to it, it is the love of good. Science is not philosophy; but it leads to it Science is the knowl edge of order. The philosopher acknowledges no.
