  • "The Philosophy of the Human Mind, in its fullest extent, may be regarded as comprehensive of many sciences. Such are the various lights in which the human mind may be regarded: physiologically, ethically, politically, theologically. It is thus the object of many sciences,--but of sciences that, even when they seem most remote, have still one tie of intimate connection, in the common relation, which they all directly bear to the series of feelings of the inquirer himself.--Introduction.

  • "These lectures contain many new and original views of the phenomena of thought, and an improved classification of the various states of mind. Brown's system of the philosophy of the mind has the merit of uncommon simplicity in its elementary principles, and of forcible and various illustration. Each lecture is introduced by general remarks on the discussions which precede it. These are often drawn out to a considerable length, especially where the same subject is extended through several lectures, which is not infrequently the case. Such recapitulations serve a beneficial purpose in oral discourses, by refreshing the memory of the hearers as to the order of the discussion, after an interval or rest or of other occupations.--Préf."
