Human Nature: A Record of Zoistic Science

Human Nature: A Record of Zoistic Science,

This Journal will be the organ of no opinion, sect, or party; it will advocate no interests except those of the human family; and its pages will be at the disposal of all who would aid in the work of progress and development. "The proper study of mankind is man," and the means whereby this may be attained is the birthright of every individual. Society naturally gravitates towards its destiny, hence the want has long been felt for a means of communication through which man may confer with man on all topics of mutual or individual benefit. This periodical will therefore be held in trust by those who conduct it on behalf of mankind, and for no selfish or personal purpose.

In explanation, it may be stated that the term

Psysiology does not imply any current doctrines respecting the body of man, but an endeavour to unfold by what is already known and future discoveries the laws whereby man may live in harmony with his own body and the physical world.

Phrenology implies that branch of inquiry whereby the laws of thought and mental emotion through the medium of the brain may be determined—a scientific demonstration of mind as it exists and manifests itself.

Psychology—All facts and principles which tend to establish a natural and demonstrable system of metaphysics.

Spiritualism—An elucidation of facts and principles concerning the nature of man's future existence after earth life has ceased; also the relations of those in the future life to those who yet dwell on earth.

Philosophy—All generalisations deducible from all facts of perception and intuition tending to throw light on the nature of things, and conducive to a scientific and reasonable theology.

The Laws of Life and Health and Sociology—All means whereby practical effort may be applied to the alleviation of physical misery and disease; a field for benevolent and missionary enterprise; construction of a state of society in harmony with the progressive regeneration of human nature.

These definitions are not used in an arbitrary sense, but simply to represent the scope of the journal and the great variety of interests it will subserve.

Illustrated tales and sketches of acknowledged merit, by eminent writers, will be given in the various issues of the magazine.

Reviews of books, theories, and practical enterprises will be given.

The size, price, and mode of publication is not yet fixed.

Communications from all who are interested in the establishment of a thoroughly liberal spiritual, progressive, and comprehensive magazine, are earnestly solicited, and may be addressed to
