ctive organisms in which they act, and with the estimate of their power as cosmic factors in the general harmony of the forces of the world. [6] See, with respect to the primitive unity of the Aryan and Semitic races, the works of the great philologist, T.G. Ascoli, and others. [7] "Although it (psychology), still makes some show, yet the old psychology is condemned. Its conditions of existence have disappeared in its new environment. Its methods no longer suffice for the increasing difficulties of the task and the larger requirements of the scientific spirit. It is constrained to live upon its past. Its wisest representatives have vainly attempted a compromise, loudly asserting that facts must be observed, and that a large part should be assigned to experience. Their concessions are unavailing, for however sincerely meant, they are not actually carried out. As soon as they set to work the taste for pure speculation again possesses them. Moreover, no reform of what is radically false can be effectual, and ancient psychology is a bastard conception, doomed to perish from the contradictions which it involves."--Ribot, _Psychologie Allemande Contemporaine_. Paris, 1879. [8] _Della legge fondamentale della intelligenza nel regno animale._ Milano. Dumolard, 1877. [9] See, among other works on the subject, _Die Herabkunft des Feuers und des Gottertranks_, by Adalbert Kuhn; and _Croyances et Legendes de l'Antiquite_, by A. Maury. [10] See Wuttke, _Deutscher Volksaberglauber_; Tylor, _Primitive Culture_; Hanusch, Rochholz, and others. [11] _The Worship of Animals and Plants_, Part I. _Fortnightly Review_, 1869.

[12] See Alger's _Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life_. [13] Arbrousset, _The Basutos_. [14] Muir, _Sanscrit Texts_. [15] Burton, _West Africa_; Tylor, _Primitive Culture_. [16] Pictet, Origines Indo-Eoropeennes. [17] The Hawaians, for example, have only one term for love, friendship, esteem, gratitude, benevolence, etc.--_aloha_; while they have distinct words for different degrees in a single natural phenomenon. Thus _aneane_, gentle breeze; _matani_, wind; _pahi_, the act of breathing through the mouth; _hano_, breathing through the
