Excerpt from The Human Trinity, or Three Aspects of Life: The Passional, the Intellectual, the Practical Sphere

Practical science, which proposes to incarnate and realize the spiritual life - of humanity, the dearest hopes of its afl'ections, and its highest aspirations towards truth, beauty and harmony, naturally investigates the organization, mechanism or material sphere, adapted to the affections, senses and intelligence of the individual soul in its body. It has become a trite phrase that the human form is the model of the perfect society. In accepting this, I would observe that nature repeats herself continually as to types and principles, but not in particular forms and details otherwise the society would consist of one stupendous human body and soul composed offthe agglomeration of all the individual bodies and souls - applying to men, Edgar Poe's absurd notion about the centralization of solar systems and astral clusters, which were thus In completing the synthesis of their unity, and returning -to the divine source whence they emanated, to approach and stick all-together, with their animal and. Human races I suppose, sticking on to their surfaces like small live mountain chains. Let us then at the beginning of our Subject, announce that analogy means something very different from servile repetition. These which exist between the individual man and the truly organized society or race, are all dynamic, or respect the analogy of functions.
