The  candid  reader  who  dissents  from  the  doctrine  of  the  Trinity,  will  have
the  goodness  to  remember,  that  the  question  itself  stands  on  far  other  and  higher
grounds  than  those  of  mere  analogy:  this  observation  is  made  in  case  the
slight  argument  here  urged  should  seem  weak  and  unsatisfactory  to  a  reflective
mind :  it  is  nothing  more  than  an  addition  pro  lacro.  It  does  not  at  all  aflect
the  argument  that  the  three  elements  of  all  things  should  be  now  unknown,  or
unsuspected.  The  idea  throwni  out  may  one  day  be  found  to  be  correct ;  and
in  fact  it  will  be  very  difficult  to  prove  the  contrary,  inasmuch  as  to  an  assertion
of  its  falsity,  "  ready  ansNver  cometh," — wait  until  we  know  more.

The  rainbow,  which  is  light  analyzed,  Is  but  three  colours,  blue,  yellow,  and
red,  with  their  intermediate  shades.     I  think  no  one  of  these  can  be  mixed  or
made  of  others,  and  in  their  union  they  produce  colourless  light.
