Excerpt from A Course of Six Lectures on the Various Forces of Matter, and Their Relations to Each Other

Which was first, Matter or Force? If we think on this question, we shall find that we are unable to conceive of matter without force, or force without matter. When God created the elements of which the earth is composed, He created certain wondrous forces, which are set free and become evident when matter acts on matter. All these forces, with many differ onces, have much in common, and if one is set free it will immediately endeavor to free its companions. Thus heat will enable us to elim inate light, electricity, magnetism, and chem ical action; chemical action will educe light, electricity, and heat; in this way we find that all the forces in nature tend to form mutually dependent systems, and as the motion of one star affects another, so force in action liberates and renders evident forces previously tranquil.
