matter. The first of these are the heavenly bodies comprehended by

_Cosmogeny_. These divide into elements--_Stoechiogeny_. The earth

element divides into minerals--_Mineralogy_. These unite into one

collective body--_Geogeny_. The whole in singulars is the living, or

_Organic_, which again divides into plants and animals. _Biology_,

therefore, divides into _Organogeny_, _Phytosophy_, _Zoosophy_.")
