tening to the teacher, and re8sction on what
he propounds, the book may seem dry and dull
1t will not be extensively read, ike the lighter
literature of the day; and yet it would be far
better were the intellects Of our youth oftener
schooled by such mental discipline as the
study of such volumes promotes. The author
presents this as sort of larger sequel OF his
small volume, published number of years
ago, entitled Elements of Thought" That
was made up of definitions and brief statements
of the truths of mental philosophy. This is
the fruit of "leisure moments, and the hours
of many thoughtful years." and is an expanded
view of the different faculties of the mind, and
their operations and applications. His style is
clear, generally compact, and pages may be
found in which are paragraphs that rise from
the simple didactic to the descriptive. It is
evidently the product of matured mind, and
is everywhere marked by observation and re-
Election. He divides his subjects into three
heads, embracing those which belong to the
physiology Of mind, or psychology, relating to
sensation, perception, memory, &C.; themes
of a more abstruse kind" or metaphysical, as
time, space, cause and effect, &C.; and, thirdly,
"what constitutes the science and art of logic."
These are treated with ability, and reference is
had also to the social system, the visible world,

of all is to impress upon his reader the con-

force as they often are, even to the last mo-
