THE HUMAN MIND. BY Dugatd 'Ste'car,
Esq. f n. S., &c.
(Connued.)
The succeeding chapter is devoted 20 the varc.
ties OF genius and of intellectual character among
men. What are the original disparties in their
capacities, Mr.. Stewart thinks it impossible to
ascertain; out he considers it as presumable, trcm
The analogy of the body that such disparies exist
Notwithstanding the theory of the original equality
of all minds which has been irgeniousy maintain
ed by lIclvetius and others. That the varieties
existing in the form of the head, and IN the cast
Of the features are significant OF original varieties
in the intellectual capacity seems to be sufficient
~ established by the whole course OF human expe-
Renee. But even if this had not been the case, it
scarcely admits Of dispute, that the different cir
cumstances in which men are placed, will produce
great diyerstes in their talents. For instance, 1t
IS matter OF daily observaiisn, that great personal
beauty, either in man or woman, diverts them from
the cultivation Of the mind; whereas, deiormity
produces the very opposite elect II II DC rue as
that profound observer OF human nature, the author
Of Gil Bias, asserts that, little men are commonly
decisive and oyacular in their opinions, It must be
admitted, that stature also has its effects upon the
intellect But. undoubtedly, the most obvious cause
Of the varieties in the intellectual faculties, by which
men are distinguished. arises from the different
pursuits to which they dedicate themselves IN civ-
zed society. 1.-THE mstaphysicisn, Tor example,
the mathematician, the poet, the critic, the antigua

nond;nc combination OF faculties and principles,
while thsy suffer others to remain without due cul
tiya,ion'' We regret that we eannot follow Mr..
Stewart in his observations on some OF these char
acters showing in what respects their intellectual
faculties may be expected to be severay marked
and Disseminated in consequence Of their peculiar
occupations. We can only find room Tor his rehec
tons on the disposition 70 generalizahon' whch

Horses Pouer.-This term, used as the name
Of measures OF power, is an expression which has
its origin in convenience. In its first application
no great nicely was necessary but as the value of
mechanical power became better understood ar
exact measure, nearly coincldins with the power
Of horse. and uniformly in the practice of eng-
neers became desirable Mr. Watt has fixed the
elementary horse power at 100000 lbs. raised
one foot per hour; or $4,000 lbs. raised one foot
per minute; 500 lbs. raised one foot per second.--
Mr. Watt further assigned proportion for the
low pressure steam eng ne equivalent to horses
power; which is IS times the square of the dame
ter of the cylinder in inches, multiplied by the
iocitv Of the piston six feet per minute, and the
product divided by $4,000, the result is the mum.
Der Of horses power. The advantage of steam
power is apparent; the horses can work at that
rate only eight hours, The engine can be kept at
work ten. twelve. or even twenty four hours, for
many days together; the cost of an engine is "a
bout the same per horse power one horse. and
the fuel required. about one bird Of the value OF

without however, making any disclosure of the
principles on which his system is founded The
most favorable opinion has been pronounced by
them, with entire unaninity. and the evidence
Of his success is considered so conclusive, tina,
the new method is recommended To the atten-

editors of the Review do not hesitate to pro-
claim the invention as one of the most inpor-

still surrounds the subject, is such that they
have not been able to come at the principles.
