An Address : Delivered Before the Intellectual Societies of Hamilton College, July 22, 1846, Clinton, N. y (Classic Reprint) by Laurens P Hickok

Excerpt from An Address: Delivered Before the Intellectual Societies of Hamilton College, July 22, 1846, Clinton, N. Y The plant grows. It is the development of a germ from within, not an aggregation of elements put together from the outside. The majestic oak has not been built up by accumulating materials one upon another, but an inner force diffusing itself throughout, has expanded it to its maturity. The tree is a whole, having its root, stock and branches in an organized unity. This inner force is the life, which as one agency works in and through every part. It assimilates to its own incorporation every element which it receives, and evermore circumscribes its working within that original form which is given to it, and which it is its sole task to expand to its maturity. Mechanical agencies work on their materials, and put them together in juxtaposition; vital agencies work in their elementary parts, and unite them in one living body. In all mechanical operations the product takes on the form determined for it by adventitious circumstances; but in all vital action, the form that must be evolved is already prescribed in the rudiments of the primitive germ. Thus heaps of gravel or shifting hills of sand take on such shapes as may be given to them, by the waves of the ocean or the winds of the desert; and lofty mountain ranges lift their bare rocks and bleak summits to the sky, in such outlines as the upheaving of volcanic action from beneath or the abrasion of the warring elements from above has determined.
