o　which　it　seemed　to　give　a　scientific　shape.　I　already　regarded　the　methods　of　physical　science　as　the　proper　models　for　political.　But　the　chief　benefit　which　I　derived　at　this　time　from　the　trains　of　thought　suggested　by　the　St.　Simonians　and　by　Comte,　was,　that　I　obtained　a　clear　conception　than　ever　before　of　the　peculiarities　of　an　era　of　transition　in　opinion,　and　ceased　to　mistake　the　moral　and　intellectual　characteristics　of　such　an　era,　for　the　normal　attributes　of　humanity.　I　looked　forward,　through　the　present　age　of　loud　disputes　but　generally　weak　convictions,　to　a　future　which　shall　unite　the　best　qualities　of　the　critical　with　the　best　qualities　of　the　organic　periods;　unchecked　liberty　of　thought,　unbounded　freedom　of　individual　action　in　all　modes　not　hurtful　to　others;　but　also,　convictions　as　to　what　is　right　and　wrong,　useful　and　pernicious,　deeply　engraven　on　the　feelings　by　early　education　and　general　unanimity　of　sentiment,　and　so　firmly　grounded　in　reason　and　in　the　true　exigencies　of　life,　that　they　shall　not,　like　all　former　and　present　creeds,　religious,　ethical,　and　political,　require　to　be　periodically　thrown　off　and　replaced　by　others.　2.Dan　took　me　back　to　the　room　and　put　me　to　bed　with　a　transdermalsoporific　that　knocked　me　out　for　the　rest　of　the　day.　When　I　woke,　themoon　was　over　the　Seven　Seas　Lagoon　and　the　monorail　was　silent.　3.The　mourners　sprang　forward　to　the　coffin,　the　friends　followed,　and　as　the　clock　on　the　mantel　solemnly　struck　three　all　were　staring　down　upon　the　face　of　John　Mortonson,　deceased.　4.Zeno　son　of　Mnaseas,　the　native　of　Citium,　avers　these　to　be　principles,　God　and　matter,　the　first　of　which　is　the　efficient　cause,　the　other　the　passible　and　receptive.　Four　more　elements　he　likewise　confesses.
