Excerpt from book: THE POSITION OF SOCIOLOGY AMONG THE SCIENCES.1 Suppose a being of superhuman powers to approach our planet, and floating above it at any convenient distance to observe its works and ways; and suppose further that his modes of observation and of reasoning, though a thousand times greater than our own, were yet similar in kind. The attention of such a one would be drawn first by those massive facts which are either common to the earth with all the globes of space, or which most strikingly and obviously distinguish it from them. He would note its spherical form, its reflected light, its motion round its axis and round the sun. He would remark its gaseous and liquid envelopes, and the two large masses of solid material that pierced through the latter?the Aso- African parallelogram fissured by the two deep creeks that we call the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and the two American cones united, wasp-like, by a slender thread. He would admire the green veil of forest and field; but for the moment would pass it by, noting only how thin it was, how little it had to do with the solid substance of the planet. Nor would the graveyards of these green things, called by us palaeontological strata, materially alter his opinion. For even these, he would see, were hardly more than a thousandth of the earth's thickness. He would pass on to note the physics and the chemistry of the total mass, the specific gravity of the whole and of the parts, the varying temperature from centre to surface, the rate of diffusion of heat, the electrical and magnetic facts, the mineralogical structure of the principal masses, their chemical composition. I suppose our spirit to be well versed in modern theories of molecular physics and of vortex-atoms. Availing himself, I will not say of the highest modern mathe...
