treatise THE Individual, with the subtitle

proach the question of death from the point Of
view of its natural history, noting in the first
place how the higher organic individuals are
related to those Of the lower inorganic realm
of the universe. Then, taking up the organic
series. shall trace the progressive steps in the
perfection of death by determination as to the
length of the Individual life and its division into
its several stages from the time when the body
| of the individual is separated from the general
body of the ancestral life to that when it re-
turns to the common store of the earth Upon
the basis of the knowledge we may thus OBJ
tain L shall endeavor to see what qualifications
of the accepted view of the great accident we
may make-how, in word. may nope to
work toward a reconciliation of our death with
the order in which find ourselves placed
In effect this book is plea for an educa-
ton regards the place of the individual life
in the whole of Nature which shall be
Sistent with what we know of the universe.
1t is a plea for understanding of the re-
lations of the person with the realm which is
in the fullest sense his own with his fellow
beings of all degrees which are his kinsmen
with the past and the future of which he Is an
integral part. 1t is protest against the idea
bred of many natural misconceptions that a.
human being is something apart from its fell
lows: that 1t is born into the world and dies
out of ii into the loneliness of a supernatural
realm. 1t Is this sense of isolation which more
than all else, is the curse of life and the sting
of death.
