Elements of Mental Philosophy: Abridged and Designed As a Text Book for Academies and High Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Elements of Mental Philosophy: Abridged and Designed as a d104 Book for Academies and High Schools

It has been my desire and endeavor, ' to give a concise, but cor rect view of the prominent principles of Mental Philosophy, so far as they seemed at present to be settled. The statement of these principles is attended with a perspicuous summary of the facts and arguments, on which they are based; together with occasional re marks ou the objections, which have been made from time to time. In selecting facts in confirmation of the principles laid down, I have sought those, which not only had a relation to the point in hand, but which promised a degree of interest for young minds. Simplicity and uniformity of style has been aimed at, although in a few instan ces the statements of the writers referred to have been admitted with only slight variations, when it was thought they had been peculiarly happy in them. As my sole object was the good of young men, I did not feel at liberty to prejudice the general design, by rejecting the facts, arguments, and in some cases even the expressions of others.
