Well, thats hypnotism, isn’t it? Annie said. Controlling someone else’s mind? He had sent Joe Colton a wire stating that he would arrive late that night. There was a light on in the kitchen and one by the kennels. The third essential condition of stability in political society, is a strong and active principle of cohesion among the members of the same community or state. We need scarcely say that we do not mean nationality, in the vulgar sense of the term; a senseless antipathy to foreigners; indifferenceto the general welfare of the human race, or an unjust preference of the supposed interests of our own country; a cherishing of bad peculiarities because they are national, or a refusal to adopt what has been found good by other countries. We mean a principle of sympathy, not of hostility; of union, not of separation. We mean a feeling of common interest among those who live under the same government, and are contained within the same natural or historical boundaries. We mean, that one part of the community do not consider themselves as foreigners with regard to another part; that they set a value on their connection—feel that they are one people, that their lot is cast together, that evil to any of their fellow-countrymen is evil to themselves, and do not desire selfishly to free themselves from their share of any common inconvenience by severing the connection. How strong this feeling was in those ancient commonwealths which attained any durable greatness, every one knows. How happily Rome, in spite of all her tyranny, succeeded in establishing the feeling of a common country among the provinces of her vast and divided empire, will appear when any one who has given due attention to the subject shall take the trouble to point it out. In modern times the countries which have had that feeling in the strongest degree have been the most powerful countries: England, France, and, in proportion to their territory and resources, Holland and Switzerland; while England in her connection with Ireland is one of the most signal examples of the consequences of its absence. Every Italian knows why Italy is under a foreign yoke; every German knows what maintains despotism in the Austrian empire;[281]the evils of Spain flow as much from the absence of nationality among the Spaniards themselves, as from the presence of it in their relations with foreigners: while the completest illustration of all is afforded by the republics of South America, where the parts of one and the same state adhere so slightly together, that no sooner does any province think itself aggrieved by the general government than it proclaims itself a separate nation. Relative names are such as father, son; ruler, subject; like; equal; unlike; unequal; longer, shorter; cause, effect. Their characteristic property is, that they are always given in pairs. Every relative name which is predicated of an object, supposes another object (or objects), of which we may predicate either that same name or another relative name which is said to be thecorrelative of the former. Thus, when we call any person a son, we suppose other persons who must be called parents. When we call any event a cause, we suppose another event which is an effect. When we say of any distance that it is longer, we suppose another distance which is shorter. When we say of any object that it is like, we mean that it is like some other object, which is also said to be like the first. In this last case both objects receive the same name; the relative term is its own correlative. Linda, it seemed, had not only failed to experience any disagreeable symptoms, but she took Robs illness much more seriously than either of the two men. Appearing in housecoat and slippers, she insisted that they send for a taxi and rush Rob to the American hospital. Then he heard the scream again. § 3. Our third example shall be extracted from Sir John HerschelsDiscourse course on the Study of Natural Philosophy, a work replete with happily-selected exemplifications of inductive processes from almost every department of physical science, and in which alone, of all books which I have met with, the four methods of induction are distinctly recognized, though not so clearly characterized and defined, nor their correlation so fully shown, as has appeared to me desirable. The present example is described by Sir John Herschel as one of the most beautiful specimens which can be cited “of inductive experimental inquiry lying within a moderate compass; the theory of dew, first promulgated by the late Dr. Wells, and now universally adopted by scientific authorities. The passages in inverted commas are extractedverbatim from the Discourse.[139] What does Dr. Ernst know? Please look into this for me and see if my conditions can be achieved. Ive enclosed a little sketch of a pin I hope to make as soon as I can find a place to work. Please accept it as a Mother’s Day gift. Thanks. Annie. Oh, hes sobeautiful, she used to tell me, which I guess he was, with my sister’s blond hair and green eyes, almost a third twin except that he was much taller than I, and spoke English with a marked accent. We were moving on to Norway the following week. My sister stared at Sven goggle-eyed and open-mouthed whilehe brought us double desserts. My mother thought it was cute, Annie being so smitten and all. I thought it was dangerous. I knew what eighteen-year-old boys wanted from beautiful young girls. Especially eighteen-year-oldSwedish boys. When he asked her to go for a walk one night, my mother said Sure, why not, what’s the harm? Charley grinned and said:Maybe thats why she didn’t speak to me. I don’t know any New York society women, but this one looks like Madge Giovanatti, I swear. It was Kirby. He said:Im glad I caught you. Joey Free, this friend of Wendel’s, is here and he wants Wendel out on bail. I told him bail wasn’t set yet and he’s throwing his weight around and demanding action plenty. I told him I wasn’t sure just what Wendel was going to be charged with and he’s demanding that I find out. That if he isn’t charged for me to turn him loose. What am I supposed to do? He left the room on that one and I decided Id have a talk with the old gal if I ever got her by herself. After all, I felt responsible for Lester though I couldn’t see much harm in his running around with her as long as he didn’t marry her. It is also manifest that the complex law is liable to be oftener unfulfilled than any one of the simpler laws of which it is the result, since every contingency which defeats any of the laws prevents so much of the effect as depends on it, and thereby defeats the complex law. The mere rusting, for example, of some small part of a great machine, often suffices entirely to prevent the effect which ought to result from the joint action of all the parts. The law of the effect of a combination of causes is always subject to the whole of the negative conditions which attach to the action of all the causes severally. Whos that?’ Bruno asked. Perhaps. Ill ask her later.’ He phoned me hed be down shortly. That’s all. We found that the Method of Agreement has the defect of not proving causation, and can, therefore, only be employed for the ascertainment of empirical laws. But we also found that besides this deficiency, it labors under a characteristic imperfection, tending to render uncertain even such conclusions as it is in itself adapted to prove. This imperfection arises from Plurality of Causes. Although two or more cases in which the phenomenona has been met with may have no common antecedent except A, this does not prove that there is any connection between a and A, since a may have many causes, and may have been produced, in these different instances, not by any thing which the instances had in common, but by some of those elements in them which were different. We nevertheless observed, that in proportion to the multiplication of instances pointing to A as the antecedent, the characteristic uncertainty of the method diminishes, and the existence of a law of connection between A and a more nearly approaches to certainty. It is now to be determined after what amount of experience this certainty may be deemed to be practically attained, and the connection between A and a may be received as an empirical law..
