Excerpt from Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the study of Nature, either mental or physical, the aim of the scientific enquirer is to diminish as much as possible the catalogue of ultimate truths. When, Without doing violence to facts, he is able'to bring one phenomenon within the laws of another; when he can shew that a fact or agency, which seemed to be original and distinct, could have been produced by other'known facts and agencies, acting according to their own laws the enquirer who has arrived at this result, considers himself to have made an important advance in the knowledge Of nature, and to have brought science, in that department, a step nearer to perfection. Other accessions to science, however important practically, are, in a scientificpoint of view, mere additions to the materials this is something done towards perfectn the structure itself.

Excerpt from Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind, Vol. 2 of 2 As we have occasion to speak of things; animals, vegetables, minerals so we have occasion to speak of the marks, which we are under the necessity of using, in order to record or to communicate our thoughts respecting them. We cannot record or communicate our thoughts respecting names, as man, tree, horse, to walk, to fly, to eat, to converse, without marks for them. We proceed in the case of names, as we do in other cases. We form them into classes, some more, some less, comprehensive, and give a name to each. We have one name, so general as to include the all; Word. That is not a name of any thing. It i a name of the marks which we employ for discourse and a name of them all. John is a word, mountain is a word, to run is a word, above is a word, and so on. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1829 edition. Excerpt: ... I interpose the word else. This is part of an obsolete verb, signifying, to dismiss, to turn out, to take away. And the sentence is thus resolved: "The ship was well manned," take away that (take away the cause, the effect is taken away also) "she would have been lost." Other conjunctions, of the disjunctive kind, as they are called, would here have answered the same purpose with else. "The ship was well manned, otherwise, she would have been lost." Otherwise here is precisely of the same import as else. "The ship was well manned;" that being dismissed, that being other than it was; "it would have been lost." "The ship was well manned, or it would have been lost." Or, in German oder, is other. The resolution of this sentence, therefore, is the same as the former. In the second of the two examples, ' Unless the ship had been well manned, it would have been lost," the contrivance is the same, with a mere change of position. Unless, is a word of the same import, rather the same word, as else. Unless is Prefixed to the conditioning prediqation, whereas else is Suffixed; and that is the difference. The word except, which signifies take away, may be substituted for unless. A peculiar application of if (give) may here also be exemplified. If with the negative, (if not, ) has a similar signification with unless, except; "If the ship had not been well manned, &c." Let us now pass to another case. "Although the ship was well manned, it was lost." The two predications may change places, without change of meaning. "The ship was lost, although it was well manned." What (as above) was to be marked by else, unless, if not, except, and so on, was the...
