A research into the history of the employment of ex- traneous force, and its connection with the pro- gress of civilisation, would afford matter of much interest, but it would be outside the pur- pose of this work, and we shall therefore only seek to classify the forces, which, in the exist- ing state of civilisation, are employed in pro- duction. These fall into three classes, viz. : 1. The muscular force of the species, to which we have just referred, and which we will distinguish as " Human ...Force. " 2. Immense forces are available for produc- tion by the operation of cosmical causes. Examples of this class are the wind, waterfalls, running streams, and tides. In all these cases the force is actively at work, and, if not utilised, simply runs to waste. The force resident in the rays of the sun also falls into this class, and, 38 THE ELEMENTS OF PEODUCTION. When we attain to a more complete knowledge, we shall doubtless find elec- tric force generated cosmically available for production.
