As the poet has so tersely expressed it, "Order is Heaven's first law." How admirably is this order displayed in the material universe! The more we study the sciences astronomy, biology, botany, physiology, medicine, etc. the more we are lost in admiration at the beautiful order we see displayed in the tiniest as well as in the vastest portions of the creation.

Mr Merdle is a most extensive merchant, his transactions are on the vastest scale, his wealth and influence are very great, but even he Bird, be quiet!
