 9	    Creatures of lower forms of organism are supposed
  	to have, as classes, three different methods of reproduc-
  	tion and to multiply their species sometimes	                                      The three
12	through eggs, sometimes through buds, and	                                      processes 
  	sometimes through self-division. According to recent
  	lore, successive generations do not begin with the birth of
15	new individuals, or personalities, but with the formation
  	of the nucleus, or egg, from which one or more individu-
  	alities subsequently emerge; and we must therefore look
18	upon the simple ovum as the germ, the starting-point, of
  	the most complicated corporeal structures, including those
  	which we call human. Here these material researches
21	culminate in such vague hypotheses as must necessarily
  	attend false systems, which rely upon physics and are de-
  	void of metaphysics.
