...These two universal laws apply to the phenomena of mind not less than to those of physical nature. " Every active force produces more than one change —every cause produces more than one effect." These are universal laws, and by them the change from the homogeneous or simple to the heterogeneous... | |

...5, the organization of industry; 6, the progress of language, &c. The law of this progress is — " Every active force produces more than one change; every cause produces more than one effect." This is again shown in special instances of the above-mentioned items, and the lesson deduced is, that... | |

...effected by the re-occurrence of it. Let me look at this double relation. — H. Spencer says that ' Every active force produces more than one change ; every cause produces more than one effect.' .Is not this what I have noted ?

We may suspect a priori that in some universal law of change lies the explanation of this universal transformation of the homogeneous into the heterogeneous. Thus much premised, we pass at once to the statement of the law, which is this: — Every active...
