A derivative law which results wholly from the operation of some one cause, will be as universally true as the laws of the cause itself; that is, it will always be true except where some one of those effects of the cause, on which the derivative law depends, is defeated by a counteracting cause. But when the derivative law results not from different effects of one cause, but from effects of several causes, we can not be certain that it will be true under any variation in the mode of co-existence of those causes, or of the primitive natural agents on which the causes ultimately depend. The proposition that coal-beds rest on certain descriptions of strata exclusively, though true on the earth, so far as our observation has reached, can not be extended to the moon or the other planets, supposing coal to exist there; because we can not be assured that the original constitution of any other planet was such as to produce the different depositions in the same order as in our globe. The derivative law in this case depends not solely on laws, but on a collocation; and collocations can not be reduced to any law. Down by the wharf, across the river, a mile away, two uniformed men were moving slowly, studying every inch of the wood. § 4. The same thing is evident with respect to the only one remaining of our five categories, Order in Place. The order in place, of the effects of a cause, is (like every thing else belonging to the effects) a consequence of the laws of that cause. The order in place, or, as we have termed it, the collocation, of the primeval causes, is (as well as their resemblance) in each instance an ultimate fact, in which no laws or uniformities are traceable. The only remaining general propositions respecting order in place, and the only ones which have nothing to do with causation, are some of the truths of geometry; laws through which we are able, from the order in place of certain points, lines, or spaces, to infer the order in place of others which are connected with the former in some known mode; quite independently of the particular nature of those points, lines, or spaces, in any other respect than position or magnitude, as well as independently of the physical cause from which in any particular case they happen to derive their origin. The point is, thisll be in her record forever, I tell my mother. Unless a doctor here... § 3. Now the precariousness of the method of simple enumeration is in an inverse ratio to the largeness of the generalization. The process is delusive and insufficient, exactly in proportion as the subject-matter of the observation is special and limited in extent. As the sphere widens, this unscientific method becomes less and less liable to mislead; and the most universal class of truths, the law of causation, for instance, and the principles of number and of geometry, are duly and satisfactorily proved by that method alone, nor are they susceptible of any other proof. She wasnt a vegetable. I know it, Trenton said, and if the judge had ruled the other way and bound me over for murder, theyd have been looking at me as though I were a snake. My daughter doesnt use such language. And she’s not a violent person. You must have provoked her in some way. I’ll go with you, my mother says, and we both start for the car. Cant we pump out her stomach? my mother asked. He tried again. Another click. Nothing else. M. Charteux, on the other hand, seemed to accept the situation philosophically. Yet there was about the little hostelry an atmosphere of brooding grief which made itself manifest in an underlying silence. Whenever conversation lagged, the clock made its ticking instantly and triumphantly audible. Mom, she hit me with a fucking hammer! Captain Harmon pointed up the river to where a speed launch was clipping through the water at a fast rate, spreading a bow wave on each side of the prow in a huge, curling V of sheeted water.This looks like Dr. Dixon now, he said. Thats highly unusual, isn’t it? I was not aware that Id been watching her. But perhaps I was. It occurs to me that ever since I spoke to Bertuzzi, I’ve been studying Annie for any indication that she may be listening to voices inside her head. We are silent for several moments. At last, I ask, Well... how do you feel? When did you stop...? There was no other sound from within. A place like that is appreciated. The cops leave it alone and the sporting crowd do the same. They both have to; neither side can afford trouble there. And its usually run by some smart old gal who knows enough to keep her mouth shut if she should happen to see something she shouldn’t. I’d known what I was running into when Macintosh had cracked about it and I wasn’t disappointed. I got outside and to the phone and got Lester... and he was frantic. He said, with his voice trembling so that I could hardly understand him: My own memory is not as accommodating. Westminster Reviewfor October, 1855..
