Abstract
A 1 aw la primarily a rule of action, according to which a being acts; it is a summation of observed uniform phenomena; a record of uniform unvarying occurrences; sort of habits in nature. Thus, investigators of the natural sciences, hold it to be an established truth, that all nature is ruled by universal and constant laws, and that the object of natural sciences is to search out these laws, and to make plain, their reciprocal relations in all directions. Newton, the greatest natural philosopher, discovered the law of gravitation, by which, all bodies attract in direct proportion to their mass, and between them. Chemistry and physiology also have their laws. This is law in its widest sense.
