And as the false and imperfect keys, which turn up to the decypherer in his researches prepare the way for the discovery of the true and complete one, so any hypothesis that has so much plausibility, as to explain a considerable number of facts, helps us to digest, these facts in proper order, to bring new ones to light, and to make Experimenta Cruets for the fake of suture inquirers.

Now these are evident to the eye, as far as that can be a judge of them. The white medullary substance appears to be every where uniform and similar to itself throughout the whole brain, spinal marrow, and nerves; and though the cortical substance be mixed with the medullary in the brain, and spinal marrow, and perhaps in the ganglions and plexuses, yet it does not appear, that the communication of any one part of the medullary substance with every other, is cut off any where by the intervention of the cortical. There is no part of the medullary substance separated from the rest, but all make one continuous white body; so that if we suppose vibrations apt to run freely along this body from its uniformity, they must pervade the whole, in whatever part they are first excited, from its continuity. The excessive minuteness of the vessels of which the medullary substance consists, may also be...
