oever, are the true '_Phonetic Types_,' representative in Nature of '_the Rational Conceptions_ of the human mind.' The ultimate Rational Conceptions of the Human Mind are confessedly, among all Philosophers of the Mind, not four or five hundred, but like the Alphabetic Sounds of Language, a mere handful in number. Precisely how many they are and how they are best distributed has not been agreed upon. Aristotle classed them as _Ten_. Kant tells us there are _Twelve_ only of the Categories of the Understanding. Spencer, while finding the Ultimate of Ultimates in the idea of _Force_ alone, admits its immediate expansion into this handful of Primitive Conceptions, but without attempting their inventory or classification. The discoverer of UNIVERSOLOGY, first settling and establishing the fact that the Elements of Sound in Speech are the natural Phonetic Types, equal in number to the inventory of the Primitive Rational Conceptions of the Human Mind, is then enabled to work the new discovery backward, and, by the aid of the classifications which Nature herself has clearly introduced among these Sounds (into Vowels, Consonants, Liquids, etc.), to arrive at a classification of all the Primitive Rational Conceptions, which cannot fail to be completely satisfactory and final. The same discovery leads, therefore, to the reconstruction of the Science of Language, on the one hand, and of Ontology, the Science of the highest Metaphysical domain, on the other. But, again, it is one of the demonstrations of UNIVERSOLOGY that all careers, that of the development of the Human Mind among others, pass through three Successive Stages correspondential with each other in the different domains of Being. As respects the Mind, these are: 1. _Intuitional_ (or Instinctive); 2. _Intellectual_ (or Reflective); and 3. _Composite_ (or Integral). It is another of these demonstrations that the Intuitional (_Unismal_) development of Mind, and the Intellectual (_Duismal_), proceed in opposite courses or directions; so that the highest _Intellectual_ development reaches and investigates _in its own way_ just those questions with which the _Intuitional_ development ('Instinct,' as Professor Mueller denominates it) began; and which, in the very earliest times, it disposed of in _its_ appropriate way _as if_ finally. By this means, the road having been passed over completely in both directions, the way is prepared for the inauguration of the third or
