ABSTRACT
This chapter is designed to propose to the consideration, not of the learned world only, but of all ingenuous and practical minds, a new development of that system of practical philosophy from which the scientific arts of the Modern Ages proceed. The proposition is that it proceeds, in both cases, from a reflective deliberative, eminently deliberative, eminently conscious, designing mind; and that the coincidence which is manifest not in the design only, and in the structure, but in the detail to the minutest points of execution, is not accidental. The chapter also incidentally treats the question of the authorship of great philosophic poems which are the legacy of the Elizabethan Age.
