Philolaus affirms that a destruction happens to the world in two ways; either by fire failing from heaven, or by the sublunary water being poured down through the whirling of the air; and the exhalations proceeding from thence are aliment of the world.
Cruickshanks with the sublunary articles of dinner and wine hardly interrupted this pantomime of affectionate enthusiasm. At length the tall ungainly figure and ungracious visage of Ebenezer presented themselves.
'Whether or no they have left me enough for the morning's breakfast is a matter my servant must discover when he comes over from Holibourne at daylight. 'They were Malignants, sir, as I guess: the Earl of Crawford's men. 'Devil a groat care I what you call them, or they call themselves! I study the heavens and take no heed of your sublunary divisions.
I am not going, in a brief essay like this, to settle dogmatically, off-hand, the vexed question of the origin and affinities of the Etruscan type; more nonsense, I suppose, has been talked and written upon that occult subject by learned men than even learned men have ever poured forth upon any other sublunary topic; but one thing at least, I take it, is absolutely certain amid the conflicting theories of ingenious theorists about the Etruscan race, and that one thing is that the Rasennæ stand in Europe absolutely alone, the sole representatives of some ancient and elsewhere exterminated stock, surviving only in Tuscany itself, and in the Rhætian Alps of the Canton Grisons.
Supposing he should come here the 13th of April, what could I do? Run off and leave him? Observe the uncertainty of all sublunary things. But even supposing I should fail in this where is this sad reverse of fortune? this lamentable change? Is it not a very easy matter to fix on another time, and write you word by T. Edwards?
When great or unexpected events fall out upon the stage of this sublunary world the mind of man, which is an inquisitive kind of a substance, naturally takes a flight behind the scenes to see what is the cause and first spring of them. The search was not long in this instance.
I did not attempt to work, especially as we were going down to Mertoun, and set off at five o'clock. October 25. We arrived at Mertoun yesterday, and heard with some surprise that George had gone up in an air balloon, and ascended two miles and a half above this sublunary earth. I should like to have an account of his sensations, but his letters said nothing serious about them.
In the metaphysical stage, phenomena are ascribed not to volitions, either sublunary or celestial, but to realised abstractions to properties, qualities, propensities, tendencies, forces, regarded as real existences, inherent in but distinct from the concrete bodies in which they reside; while the characteristic of the positive stage is the universal recognition that all phenomena without exception are governed by invariable laws, with which no volitions, natural or supernatural, interfere.
H. is recovering, and the young gentleman doing well. CLVIL. To MR. WILLIAM DUNBAR, W.S. ELLISLAND, 17th January 1791. I am not gone to Elysium, most noble Colonel, but am still here in this sublunary world, serving my God by propagating His image, and honouring my king by begetting him loyal subjects. Many happy returns of the season await my friend. May the thorns of care never beset his path!
It confirmed the truth of that maxim which tells us, that the human mind must have something left to supply for itself on the sight of all sublunary objects.
