The larger and the smaller Art-Performances of Humanity--first, all the Work or Product of the Creative Power of Man; and, secondly, Grand and Fine Art, as the Choice Product of that faculty--are again epitomized in LANGUAGE or SPEECH. This last is the Sense-Bearing Product of the Lips and Cooeperative Organs, put representatively for the product of the hands and of all the other instrumentalities of action. _It is in this representative sense that_ LANGUAGE _is preeminently and distinctively denominated_ EXPRESSION. But, as we have seen, _Expression_ is the Equivalent and exact Reflect of _Impression_; Art, of Nature; through the mediation of Science, meaning thereby the Laws of Knowing. _These Laws of Knowing thus hold an exact relation to the Laws of Doing_; or, in other words, _Scientific Laws to Creative and Vital Laws_, which last are the Laws of Administration, human and divine. _As an epitome or miniature, then, the Laws of Language must be an exact reproduction of the Laws of the Universe._ Language itself, in other words, must be an epitome or miniature image, in all its perfection, of the Universe at large; as the image formed upon the retina of the eye, though infinitely small in the comparison, is an exact epitome or image, inversely, of the external world presented to the vision. Let the reader guard himself well against supposing that what is here meant is the mere commonplace truth that Language is the equivalent of our _Impression_ of the Universe, in the fact that we can, through the medium of Language, describe, and in that sense _express_, what we think and feel of and about the Universe. What is here intended is something far more recondite than this superficial relation between Speech, Thought, and the World thought _about_. It is this--That, in the Phenomena, the Laws, and the Indications of the Structure of Language--considered as a fabric, or Word-World--_there is an exact image or reproduction, in a miniature way, of the Phenomena, the Laws, and the Indications of the entire Universe; in so definite and traceable a manner as to furnish to us, when the analogy is understood, a complete model and illustration of the Science of the Universe as a whole_. If this be true, the immense importance of the discovery can hardly be over-estimated. We are furnished by means of it with a simple object, of manageable dimensions, as the subject of our direct investigations; which, when mastered, will, by reflection, and a definite law of relation and proportion, enable us to master the Plan of the Universe; and so to constitute a one Science out of the many Sciences by recognizing the Domains which they cover as parts of a larger domain, which is equivalent to the whole.
