pon an understanding of the
value and meaning of the True Prime or Ultimate Elements of Speech--the
_Vowels_ and _Consonants_.

It is with the exposition of the nature of these Fundamental
Constituents of Language, and of their Correspondential Relationship or
_Analogy_ with the Fundamental Constituents of Thought, the Ultimate
Rational Conceptions of the Mind, that the New UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE begins
its developments. Through its agency we may hope to find, therefore, a
satisfactory solution to the problem of the Origin of Speech, which
Comparative Philology abandons at the critical point, and so to be able
to pass to the consideration of the more specific objects of our present
inquiry.

UNIVERSOLOGY establishes the fact that there is Analogy or Repetition of
Plan throughout the various Departments of the Universe. It
demonstrates, in other words, that the same Principles which generate,
and the same Laws which regulate, the Phenomena of the Universe as a
whole, fulfil the same functions in connection with the Phenomena of
every one of its parts. The Mathematical, Psychological, or any other
specific Domain is, therefore, an expression or embodiment of the same
System of Principles and Laws, with reference to both Generals and
Details, which is otherwise exhibited in Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry,
and elsewhere universally; just as the same Architectural Plan may be
variously employed in constructions of different size, material, color,
modes of ornamentation, etc.; and may be modified to suit the
requirements of each individual construction. To every Elementary Form
of _Thought_ there is, consequently, a corresponding and related Law of
_Number_, of _Form_, of _Color_, of _Chemical_ Constitution, and of
_Oral Sound_ or _Speech_. Every Basic Idea, to state it otherwise,
pertaining to the Universe at large or to any of its Divisions, has its
counterpart or double in every other Division. Or, to express it yet
another way: the manifold, diverse, and unlike Appearances or Phenomena
which the Universe presents to our understanding, are not _radically_
and _essentially_ different; but are the same Typal Ideas or Thoughts of
God or of Nature, arrayed in various garbs, and, hence, assuming varying
presentations. The Numerical _Unit_, the Geometrical _Point_, the
Written _Dot_, the _Globule_, the Chemical _Atom_, the Physical
_Molecule_, the Physiological _Granule_, the _Yod_ or _Iot
