This important law we have given in substance in the different editorials to which we referred a moment ago, but we have not before emphasized it as we now do, as an impregnable law of science, upon which the substantial character of sound as one of the forces of Nature may alone rely without the fear of successful assault. It stands, as a new and overwhelming discovery, in the same relation to sound that the law announced last month (page ICO) occupies in relation to the substantial nature of heat, and these two law3 should be placed side by side in the ultimate formula of the Substantial Philosophy.
