DIAGRAM OF OURSOLAR SYSTEM GOD*S TWO BOOKS 97 would certainly make poor coroners, or, for that matter,poor investigators of law, or history, or anything else. The second postulate of geology which every true loverof inductive methods must object to assuming as a prelim-inary to all investigation, is that our globe originated by thehot process, in any manner whatever,— whether accordingto the theory of Kant, La Place, Madler, Lockyer, or Faye,— for they are all alike in teaching that our globe wasonce fluid throughout. The pro and con of this, as a theory in itself, is altogetheraside from our present subject, but we must note how thisassumption of a certain method of origin for our earth The heavens declare the glor^ of God; andthe firmament shoTveth his handiwork**— BiBLE. forms an integral part of the whole structure of modernuniformitarian geology.
