Excerpt from The Book of Nature, Vol. 3 of 3
In taking a general survey of the subject im mediately before us, there are three questions that have chiefly occupied the attention of the world the essence of the mind or soul; its durability; and the means by which it maintains a relation with the sensible or external world. Let us devote the pre sent lecture to a consideration of the first of these.
Is the essence of the human soul material or immaterial? The question, at first sight, appears to be highly important, and to involve nothing less than a belief or disbelief, not indeed in its divine origin, but in its divine similitude and immortality. Yet I may venture to afirm that there is no question which has been productive of so little satisfaction, or has laid a foundation for wider and wilder errors.
