New York - JL sends WW two articles he has written on the subject of the plurality of the worlds. The subject has aroused a great deal of interest in JL's country. His interest in the subject arises 'from the impossibility of harmonizing the theory with the scheme of redemption'. JL had written on the subject before the knowledge of WW's essay ['Of the Plurality of Worlds: An Essay', 1853]: 'Our first and earliest ideas of creation furnish an imaginary analogy in having a Plurality of Worlds, but every advance in knowledge lessens the possibility and finally shows it impossible'.
