Excerpt from Geonomy a Theory of the Ocean Currents and Their Agency in the Formation of the Continents In 1838 I published a small volume, in which I demonstrated that the organs of the brain are arranged in a certain natural order, which had not been previously observed. In 1850 I wrote another work, in which I pointed out the fact that the cerebral organs are added and superadded to each other, in a manner that corresponds with the geological order of progressive creation. In-1857 I published a new system of nervous physiology, in which I demonstrated that the functions of the body and of the brain are so intimately related, that one cannot he understood except in connection with the other, and that both must be studied by the light of comparative physiology and geology. I was thus naturally led to the train of thought, which has resulted in the production of several essays upon the origin of continents, oceans and planetary systems. I ask no favor for the errors which this book contains: they deserve none. But, though the history of science affords me little encouragement, I confess that I am desirous that some of the new truths in these pages may obtain a favorable reception.
