The Cause of Life and Motion (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Cause of Life and Motion
Although the writer has felt constrained to-use the term in its conventional sense, as a matter of fact, it will be found that he is more marefial in his Views than the most confirmed materialist, since he does not admit the possibility of the existence of any life or movement whatever with out a direct and systematic cause, Whereas, curious as it may seem, scientists as a rule, refer the cause of all life and movement to imaginary influences, either derived from existing anomalous properties or from dormant qualities infused in matter at some remote period of the past. In other words, they teach that a body of matter has various unexplainable, not to say inconsistent quali ties within it, which always act voluntarily and exact under certain conditions.'
