Owen calls "the law of vegetative or irrelative repetition," as they have many organs performing the same function, and not related to each other by combination for the performance of a higher function. Thus, a Polygastrian has many assimilative sacs, each performing the office of a stomach irrespective of the rest.
On the other hand who can say that it is TRUE, for who can lay his hand on that object and show that it and nothing else is what I MEAN by my word? But yet again, who can gainsay any one who shall call my word utterly IRRELATIVE to other reality, and treat it as a bare fact in my mind, devoid of any cognitive function whatever. One of these three alternatives must surely be predicated of it.
For the Scripture is by no means an irrelative system of moral and divine truths; but it stands connected with so many histories, and with the laws, opinions, and manners of so many various sorts of people, and in such different times, that it is altogether impossible to arrive to any tolerable knowledge of it, without having recourse to much exterior inquiry.
Darwin justice, the fortuitousness, though always within hail, is kept as far as possible in the background. "Mr. Darwin's arguments," says Professor Ray Lankester, "rest on the PROVED existence of minute, many-sided, irrelative variations NOT produced by directly transforming agents." Mr.

The reader, however, would most probably prefer to hear an abridgement of the tale in our own words.
Great profanation of the holy Sabbath, and neglect or careless performance of the duties therein required; breaking it by unnecessary feasting, walking, idle, vain and impertinent discourse, and such like recreations; yea, by hunting, hawking, riding and going of journeys, sounding trumpets before their lords of Justiciary when going to church, reading of proclamations wholly irrelative to religion, and making publications not necessary nor expedient to be made upon that day.
Even Dolly, cast down and disappointed as she was, revived at this, and bade Miggs hold her tongue directly. 'WHICH, was you pleased to observe, Miss Varden? said Miggs, with a strong emphasis on the irrelative pronoun. Dolly repeated her request. 'Ho, gracious me! cried Miggs, with hysterical derision.
