animate * tha whole body at the same time that it form * witk it but qdq individual beings which perceives each impresaicm given to auy one of its limbs . As the sun and the stars more without being impelled by external force , so it is with the
animal ; which is the union of indwelling life with the different parts of his external frame ; of volition with motion ; of the soul with its outward reflection—the body . His freedom in space , and . in time , is made known by the act of motion and the exercise
of voice . Here nature has attained to the power of utterance , and it is evident that she has now arrived at her extreme limit . She has gradually raised the external , mute , motionless , and apparently lifeless matter , till in the production of the animal creation it has acquired the power and iree exercise of voice ; and in this creation we find , not merely outward motion , such
as the external expansion displayed in the plants , but likewise internal motion ; for the body is continually produced out of itself ; and this internal , or so to speak , —abiding motion , discovers itself in the warmth of life , and in the sparkling of the eye .

Were it necessary to show that Sir Robert is like the daw in the fable , yer y fond of dressing himself up in other birds '
feathers , it might be worth while to compare his measure with the present one , and show , that on the ground of similarity , at least , it is not entitled to his support . We shall , lowerer , content ourselves with briefly stating * what are the principal provisions of the measure now proposed by Lord John Rug&ell . — First , then , it declare ** that after , ( why not on and after ) the 1 st of January next , Banns need not be published , but instead , notice is to be given to the registrar of the district ( to be appointed under the new Act for the Registration of Births ,
