Spiral nebula. No. 4964. Herschel. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. Since this book was first published, in 1895, a marvellous change has taken place in the attitude of science towards the questions which it presents, and the movement in the direction of substantial acceptance by those most qualified to judge, of the conclusions herein reached, is going on with a constantly accelerated rapidity. Having presented a comprehensive generalization capable of fully explaining, even with our present knowledge, the various cosmical and astronomical phenomena, and of harmonizing their processes of genesis and maintenance, this growing acceptance is not surprising, for prior to this the various hypotheses in vogue were but partial in scope, and set up only to cover certain more obvious and closely related species or varieties, or even individual phenomena, so that one hypothesis was in contradiction to another ;whole categories were left entirely out of account, and there was no possibility of reaching, for the whole, more than a mere surface or classificational system of cosmical physics.
