Summary:

"My mode of instruction will be entirely new, while the great principles by which I hope to sustain my position are original and exclusively my own, no author, so far as I know, having ever discovered or made known the universal law and order of dualism by which all things are made, moved and sustained, nothing having the power of creating itself, moving itself, or sustaining itself. This dualistic law I shall apply to mind, and demonstrate that it has no more power to create itself or the ideas forced upon it, than a stone has to create and to move itself. I shall also show that the mind is an indivisible unit, without faculties, and without power, except, such as is given it by the force of objectivity and the unavoidable organism and condition of body"--Preface.
