In botany, for example, we are able to observe the processes of Nature, the rising of the life force in the root or seed, and to trace its activities throughout the life of the plant; to watch the actual formation of cell and tissue. If you apply that principle to such objects as biology and anthropology, you will understand something of the difference of method. “Recognition of people does not depend upon a knowledge of their physical appearance. There is another mode which enables us to know them instantly, whatever the particular form may be. It is a kind of soul recognition by means of which it is almost impossible to be deceived.
