" Hi omnes motus regulares originem non habent ex Causis mechanicis. Elegantissima hacce Solis Planetarum et Cometarum compages, non nisi consilio et dominio Entis Intelligentis et Potentis oriri potuit." Newton, Sch. Gen, " Aoxei yaf isKiiin -/j/xio-u ra iravros eivai ri £X" K2' "" avy. ffa. i-n ." ARISTOT. SECTION I. The Theory. The Doctrine of Causation, in its simplest and most generalized form, may be briefly stated thus: That there is throughout nature a constant series of events, seeming to depend on each other -- the subsequent on the antecedent; the former, of any two events, being commonly denominated the Cause, the latter, the Effect. The greatest difference of opinion has prevailed with respect to this Doctrine; and more especially as to the extent to which it is admissible. There are many (and perhaps the majority of mankind are of their opinion) who allow, fully, of the application of the doctrine to physical subjects; but extend their views, and often, indeed, their enquiries, no further. They believe this Doctrine of Causation to be a sound basis, whereon to erect Theological Science, without entertaining the previous question -- Whether the admission of the Principle of Causation be consistent with the existence of Religion and Morality ? The opponents of this party are chiefly of two kinds : 1st, Those who admit the Doctrine and deny its sufficiency ; and 2ndly, Those who deny the Doctrine itself -- dispute the reality of the connexion of Cause and Effect -- and therefore, as they suppose, the possibility of arguing with certainty from one to the other
