(He says in explanation that "ONTOLOGY teaches us the phenomena of
matter. The first of these are the heavenly bodies comprehended by
_Cosmogeny_. These divide into elements--_Stoechiogeny_. The earth
element divides into minerals--_Mineralogy_. These unite into one
collective body--_Geogeny_. The whole in singulars is the living, or
_Organic_, which again divides into plants and animals. _Biology_,
therefore, divides into _Organogeny_, _Phytosophy_, _Zoosophy_.")

FIRST KINGDOM.--MINERALS. _Mineralogy_, _Geology_.
