And is it not more consonr -^t to reason to suppose that the glass was opaque impervious to some agent existing in that beam, Tvhich freely passed the quartz—opaque to it, but transparent both to it and the tithonic rays. We are thus forced to admit that rays of light, rays of heat, tithonic rays, phosphoric rays, and probably many other radiant forms, have an independent existence, and that they can be separated by proper processes from each other. Light itself can produce as many different effects as there are possible combinations of colour, for each one of its rays has peculiar powers of its own ; and it is also attended by other invisible and imponderable prin- ciples which have their modes of ; Here then we discover reasons for inferring that one at least of the so called physical forces is itself constituted of other forces, capable of producing various results : in other words, we learn that the matter in space which gives rise to light is not homogeneous, but itself compound, as declared by the compound phe- nomena to which it gives rise ; and as every part of a ray of light has its specific office, we cannot avoid the inference, that the matter of which each separate part is composed is in a peculiar state, or is really di- verse. We apprehend, however, that specific inde- pendence maybe proved of all the physical forces, and that Dr. Carpenter's illustration of the transmutation of force is not correct.
