Dryden’s Translation.

Footnote 3:

We purposely use the term _Personal_ in preference to spiritual, for
the word should be rescued from its confusion of meanings to the old
classical one, in connection with the soul. As Hermann Lotze
beautifully unfolds, “Personality is the key to existence,” using
the word in its first sense from _persona_, a mask, parallel to the
Hebrew analogy which calls man the image of Jehovah. Mulford also
presents the thought grandly in _The Republic of God_ and _The
Nation_, drawing his suggestion from the Germans Stahl and
Froschammer. In this sense humanity is the shadow of Deity, the veil
through which the Absolute tries to reveal Himself, casting about in
the multiplicity of natural forms after an expression through
physical means of His own nature. In this sublime conception God is
the life of the universe, who, in Schelling’s phrase, “sleeps in the
stone, breathes in the plant, moves in the animal, and wakes up to
consciousness in man.” It is this thought which makes Novalis so
reverent to a human being as a Microdeus, and elevates the dignity
of the soul above all else. For as the purpose of nature is to
personify the Invisible, human souls are the Persons (or masks) by
which the leading parts are here acted with many changes of scenery.

Footnote 4:

This idea is grandly stated in Isaac Taylor’s _Physical Theory of a
Future Life_. In demonstrating the assurance that the future
existence is in material bodies, and showing the glorious extensions
to which the coming bodily powers will probably be developed, the
author approaches strangely near the philosophy of reincarnation.

Kant’s distinction between the Intelligible character and the
Empirical or acquired character, which is a metaphysical form of the
reincarnation view concerning the eternal Individuality and the
temporal Personality, is shown by Professor Bowen on pp. 102 _et
seq._

Lockhart’s _Life of Scott_ (first edition, vol. vii. p. 114).

Footnote 12:

As a physiological explanation of these instances, Dr. Wigan
published in 1844 a curious book entitled, “The Duality of the Mind”
(London), which excited animated discussions and called forth a
number of circumstances which the double structure of the brain
could not explain.

Footnote 13:

Professor William Knight, in the _Fortnightly Review_, 1878. See p.
95.

Footnote 14:

Leibnitz first directed attention to these singular phenomena. Sir
William Hamilton has collected a number of instances of such
wonderful revival of memory. Carpenter’s _Mental Physiology_, pp.
430 et seq., and Brodie’s _Psychological Inquiries_, Second Series,
p. 55, mention several cases. Coleridge cited from the German a
remarkable illustration, and commented upon it in his _Biographia
Literaria_, chapter vi.:—

“This fact (and it would not be difficult to adduce several of the
same kind) contributes to make it even probable that all thoughts
are in themselves imperishable; and that, if the intelligent faculty
should be rendered more comprehensive, it would require only a
different and apportioned organization, _the body celestial_ instead
of _the body terrestrial_, to bring before every human soul the
collective experience of its whole past existence. And this—this,
perchance, is the dread Book of Judgment, in whose mysterious
hieroglyphics every idle word is recorded! Yea, in the very nature
of a living spirit, it may be more possible that heaven and earth
should pass away than that a single act, a single thought, should be
loosened or lost from that living chain of causes to all whose
links, conscious or unconscious, the free will, our only absolute
Self, is co-extensive and co-present.”

Footnote 15:

A noble passage from one of the greatest of these may be found in
Scott’s _Christian Life_, chapter iii. section i. See also Dr. Henry
More’s _Immortality of the Soul_, Book II. chapter xvi., and Sir

Footnote 46:

Beside these recent English books the Appendix gives many older

Footnote 47:

In the explicit phrasing from which this section is derived, there
are mentioned _seven_ planets, through each of which the soul makes
_seven_ rounds, each round including _seven_ races, and each race
_seven_ sub-races, and these again containing _seven_ branches,
multiplying the whole number of lives into a compound of seven.
Everywhere the sacred number appears, but contrary to the strict
interpretation of many students of oriental thought, we are certain
that these figures are only symbols. Just as the spectrum might be
split into only three essential components, or into a much larger
number than seven, so the dissection of these courses of the soul
into any one number seems to be an arbitrary mathematical
representation of the fact that each division must include such
components as will fit together in one indissoluble entirety.

Footnote 48:

This corresponds to the Hindu triple existence mentioned in the Laws
of Manu: “Souls endued with goodness attain always the state of
deities; those filled with ambitious passions, the condition of men;
and those immersed in darkness, the nature of beasts. This is the
threefold order of transmigration.”
