Life, in proportion to its progress, is scattered in manifestations which undoubtedly owe to their common origin the fact that they are complementary to each other in certain aspects, but which are none the less mutually incompatible and antagonistic. So that the discord between species will go on increasing.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
