Excerpt from What Is Vital Force?: Or, a Short and Comprehensive Sketch, Including Vital Physics, Animal Morphology, and Epidemics; To Which Is Added an Appendix Upon Geology: Is the Detrital of Geology Tenable?
Originality might be considered as the primary point aimed at in this succession of short essays. But, in the matter of style, it is free from that condemnation, unless it can make some slight claim, arising from its numerous defects. But, if the work is an essentially suggestive one, it is necessarily more or less an original one; though in almost every detail anticipated in some way or other.
