This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...soul could be examined, the quarta natura, owing to the excessive smallness of its atoms, would be the last to be reached by analysis. Lucr. does not mean that it is more remote than the other substances from the surface of the body. For this sense of infra cf. iv 112, where it is said of atoms generally, sunt infra nostras sensus. 276--281. These lines explain the phrase anima est animae: they completely upset the theory, adopted by many, that the quarta natnra is confined to the animus.
