II. OH. n.] OP IMAGINATION ASSOCIATIVE. 149 of the acid for oxide of zinc disposed the metal to unite with oxygen, and thus enabled it to decompose water; that is, the oxide of zinc was supposed to produce an effect previous to its existence. The obscurity of this explanation arises from regard- ing changes as consecutive, which are in reality simultaneous.
There is no succession in the process, the oxide of zinc is not formed previously to its combination with the acid, but at the same instant.... There is, as it wer^, but one chemical change, which consists in the combination at one and the same moment of adnc with oxygen, and of oxide of zinc with the acid ; and this change occurs because these two affinities, acting together, over- come the attraction of oxygen and hydrogen for one another."* Now, if the imaginative artist will permit us, with all deference, to represent his combining intelligence imder the figure of sul- phuric acid ; and if we suppose the fragment of zinc to be embar- rassed among infinitely numerous fragments of diverse metals, and the oxygen dispersed and mingled among gases coimtless and indistinguishable, we shall have an excellent type in material things of the action of the imagination on the immaterial.
