(Rl.FACE. conviction of the existence of the Soul as in in...)
Rl.FACE. conviction of the existence of the Soul as in indcpcndentselfacting agent can be established, it would hardly fail to enlarge and strengthen our conceptions of Creative Power, of our dependence upon that Power, and of our moral and religious responsibilities. Such a conviction, arising from demonstrative proof, which appeals to the senses as well as the understanding, it appears to the writer, has been wanted by the human family, however they may be disposed, in the main, to accede to Revelation, or to listen to the natural suggestions of Reason. If the writer has failed, he will enjoythe consciousness of knowing that he will have done no harm to morals or religion, and that the worst of the issue will be the trouble that may devolve upon others in restoring the subject to its former obscurities and consequent tendencies. The second edition of the work on the Soul and I nstinct, consisting of a small duodecimo, from the Preface to which the foregoing remarks are derived, has been before the public since 1849; and as the Author is not aware of any adverse criticisms. he offers this octavo edition in the belief that it will be found even more unexceptionable than the former. The facts nnd illustrations are greatly amplified, and the Author has airne far as the subjects will admit, at a simplification that may adapt the work to the common understanding. lie has also introu a variety of topics which have appeared in some of his other works that have only-an indirect, but, nevertheless, an important bearing upon the question relative to the Soul as distinguished from Materialism. A mong the principal of these is the new doctrine of the Correlation or Equivalence of the Physical and Vital Forces. If a principle of life be denied, in accounting for the endless and unique phenomena which appertain to the functions of organic beings, it is sufficiently appar (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Myrtin Paine was born on July 8, 1794 in Williamstown, Vermont, United States. He was the son of Elijah and Sarah (Porter) Paine and brother of Charles Paine.
Martyn Paine received his education from private tutors, among them being Francis Brown, subsequently president of Dartmouth College. After completing his preparatory education at Atkinson, New Hampshire, Paine entered Harvard College in 1809, receiving his degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1813. In that year he began the study of medicine under the preceptorship of the well-known Doctors Warren, father and son, of Boston. He entered the medical department of Harvard in 1815 and was graduated Doctor of Medicine in 1816. His graduation thesis treated the subject of inflammation, and all his life he maintained that "most diseases are inflammatory in origin and demand antiphlogistic treatment. "
Myrtin Paine practised in Montreal for six years (1816 - 1822) and then removed to New York, where he lived for fifty-five years. His first published work, Letters on the Cholera Asphyxia, appeared in 1832. In the late thirties he was one of the most active promoters of the medical college of the University of the City of New York and when it opened in 1841 he was associated with Valentine Mott, John W. Draper, Granville S. Pattison, Gunning S. Bedford, and John Revere on its first faculty. Here he continued to teach for some twenty-five years, at first as professor of the institutes of medicine, but after 1850 as professor of therapeutics and materia medica. Though he was not an interesting teacher, for he read his lectures, he came to be regarded as the leading professor of therapeutics in the country. His Institutes of Medicine (1847), a work of 1100 pages, went through nine editions, and his Materia Medica and Therapeutics (1848), through three. Purging and bleeding were his favorite remedies.
In the early fifties, Martyn Paine was sent by his faculty colleagues to Albany to use his influence for the passage of legislation permitting dissections in New York state. Up to 1854 there was a stringent law on the statute books forbidding dissection under penalty of imprisonment at hard labor; and the Board of Councilmen of New York City had urged the legislature "to oppose by every means the passage of any bill legalizing the dissection of dead bodies". Paine succeeded in securing in 1854, though by the scantiest of margins, the passage of an act abolishing the law prohibiting dissection.
Paine's most notable books were Institutes of Medicine (1847), Materia Medica and Therapeutics (1848), On Theoretical Geology Sustaining the Natural Constitution of the Mosaic Records of Creation and the Flood in Opposition to the Prevailing Geological Theory (1856). To him is attributed the authorship of a series of editorial articles: Medical Education in Great Britain According to Documentary Evidence, the New York Medical Press (1859).
