Doc. 313.] CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT. 909
preface in which the author gives an account of the whole work.
The contents of the ten chapters of which it is composed are as
follows:
Chap. I. The means which conduce to true Philosophy, and
concerning the true philosopher.
Chap. II. A philosophical argument concerning the First Simple
from which the world, with its natural things, originated; that is
concerning the First Natural Point, and its existence from the Infinite.
Chap. III. A philosophical argument on the First or Simple
Finite, and its origin from Points.
Chap. IV. A philosophical enquiry concerning the Second Finite,
and the manner in which it derives its origin successively from the
Simple Finite. Also, general observations on its co-existent, which
we have denominated the Active of the First Finite ; and on the
manner in which it is geometrically derived from the First and
Simple Finite.
Chap. V. Observations specifically on the Active of the First
Finite : on its origin from the First Simple Finite ; on its motion,
figure, state, and other attributes and modifications : shewing that
this Active is one, and constitutes the sun of our system ; that in
like manner, it forms the first elementary particles.
Chap. VI. On the First and most Universal Element of the
Mundane System, or the First Elementary Particle compounded of
Finites and Actives ; of its motion, figure, attributes, and modes ;
of its origin and composition from the Second Finite and the Active
of the First Finite ; of its constituting the solar and stellar vortices.
Chap. VII. On the Actives of the Second and Third Finite.
Chap. VIII. On the Third Finite or Substantial.
Chap. IX. On the Second or Magnetic Element of the world;
that is, of the next Elementary Particle composed of Third Finites
and of the Actives of the Second and First Finite. Of its motion,
figure, attributes, and modes. That this Element, together with the
former, constitutes the solar vortex, and is the one which principally
contributes to the phenomena of the magnet.
Chap. X. On the existence of the Sun and the formation of
the Solar Vortex.
PART II., which consists of 250 pages is entitled : An Examination
of the First Principles of Natural Things in respect to the phenomena
of Magnetism.
In this part the substance of the work registered as no. 37,
which treats of "The Magnet and its Qualities," seems to have been
in a great measure embodied.
