His preference for it is mainl}^ determined by two reasons. In the first place, since the several forces. A, B, C, D, &c. , are all inter- changeable, it suffices to allow A (the me- chanical), and all the rest are provided for. In the second place, the traces of actual 154 I^'^ ^ TTITUDE TO WARDS THEOL G Y. evolution follow this order, conducting us back past the dawn of life, and even the combinations of chemistry, to a period of purely mechanical energy. In estimating these reasons I will st...ep for a moment on to their own ground, and postpone all objection to the theory of " energies " on which they rest. It is true that, among a number of inter- changeables, if the first be given, the others are potentially there. But it is no less true that if the last be given, or any intermediate, there is provision for the rest.
