I own that I cannot see what is gained by the new and laborious exposition of terms — or the novel classification and arrangement of the Science with which his Lord ship sets out.  Simple-minded readers, perhaps, are apt to take all this for precision of language and accuracy of thought; and rest contented in the belief that there must be in reality some great discovery, and profound depth of thinking, where there are so many learned words — such a formidable apparatus of Greek derivatives — such manifold classifications — subdivisions — and analyses.  I am obliged to confess my own inability to perceive what Lord Brougham has gained in point of accuracy, by this curious " psychological" display.
