His first publication was made in 1838. In that work he demonstrated that the functions of the brain as well as of the body include three classes: those that relate to self, those that relate to society, and those that relate to knowledge. Each of the three classes of mental organs may be said to have its roots in a class of analogous bodily organs, and from thence, like the trunks of three trees, they extend up into the brain, where they expand and send off special branches.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new theory on the origins and shaping of Earth's continents. The author argues that the continents were formed due to the sinking of ocean basins beneath the weight of sediment, a process instigated by the three pairs of elliptical ocean currents that circulated throughout the world's oceans. This innovative work delves into the evidence of these currents and their central role in shaping the planet's landmasses. The book also explores the impact of the formation of these continents on the distribution of life and the shaping of the geological record, providing a fresh perspective on the evolution of our planet.
