Synopsis

This book is an introductory lecture delivered at the commencement of the session at the University of Victoria College. In an elegant and philosophical manner, the author leads us through a fascinating exploration of the marvels of the human body, the diseases that ail it, and the means of restoration at our disposal. The author argues that the properties of living matter can only be attributed to a Supreme Being, and that the coherence of the body's functions points to a divine architect. The author draws parallels between the vegetable and animal kingdoms, illustrating how plants and animals share many vital processes. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of life, the unity of its principle, and the comprehensiveness of its operation, pointing to a divine origin.
