Excerpt from History of the Progress and Present State of Animal Chemistry, Vol. 1 of 3 It was the precept of an eminent philosopher, that he who undertakes to extend the limits of a science should previously be made acquainted with the discoveries of his predecessors. To facilitate the application of this precept, first induced the Author to make the following compilation. That all organized bodies are composed of ultimate or remote parts, will not be denied, but there seems to be a prevalent idea, that it is necessary for these component parts to be in certain proportions or peculiar combinations, in order to establish the equilibrium of health; and that when these are destroyed, disease is the consequence, which cannot be cured until the organic machine receives those parts which are deficient, or gives up those which are in excess, so that the proper proportions be again effected, and the equilibrium of health restored. If such be the cafe, the conclusion is, that the happiness or misery of individuals depends ultimately on the proportion of the different parts of the substances that compose them. The human intellect appears to delight in speculation; for the idea has been extended so far as to suppose, that since the mind is only the production of external objects acting on vital organization, conveyed by senses, all of which are composed of ultimate parts; this nobler part of our nature must likewise be within the reach of the powers of the analytical science, and that some distant and future age may be indebted for an explanation not only of the functions of the body, but of the faculties of the mind, to chemical analysis.

Excerpt from History of the Progress and Present State of Animal Chemistry, Vol. 3 of 3 It would appear, therefore, all the ancients had fome idea of a living principle which animates the corporeal machine; and this is afl'erted by Plutarch, who ought to, know hell the fentiments of the ancients, having given a treatile on their opinions. He lays, as being acknow ledged by all of them, that fpirit is only a fubtile matter, and our foul, which is the air, keeps us alive; and in this manner all the world contains fpirit and air, which are only two names fignifying the fame thing.
