Intellectual electricity, novum organum of vision, and grand mystic secret: Namely, That the present State of Things is the Consequence of an incipient Change in Human Nature itself: a Revolution that, the more it is thwarted and crossed, the more its Spirit vibrates, kindles and flames; demonstrative of the present Existence of a Sense or Faculty in Man, anticipated or discovered by the Author; whereby Innate ideas are less necessary, and ordinary Optics superseded; the Connection between the material and spiritual World elucidated; the Medium of Thought rendered visible; Instinct seems advancing to Intuition, and Politics assume a form of Magical Intimation. Being an experimental and practical system of the passions, metaphysics, and religion, really genuine: accompanied with appropriate extracts from Sir Isaac Newton, Dr. Hartley, Beddoes, and Others: With Medical Observations rising out of the Subject. By rational mystic.
