English: This pre-evolutionary book was written in 1832 [... to expose the futility of those French philosophers and physiologists, who represented life as a mere physical result of certain combinations and actions of parts, by them termed Organisation.] Instead, the ideas proposed by the "Christian Advocate" (the author) are that of a "Natural Theology", and so he sets out to compare the anatomy of the animal kingdoms and the human body to find that there is a "universal design" between them. In his conclusion, the author proposes a "First Cause", lauding the human hand for its perfection and superiority, and that it corresponds to the superiority of the human mind, especially when compared to the senseless toiling animals who are merely guided by instincts. Still, the hand is not the source of human ingenuity to the author, but a natural tool to express it, and to advance human progress while being aware of the Divine power.
