And again :-" And thus by conceiving the idea of Space to be a condition of perception of the Mind, we can conceive the existence of necessary truths, which apply to all perceived objects."

Agreed;-but must we not also conceive of the Soul or Mind as in some Place relatively to that Space, and even of that Place as the primary condition ?—Author.]

END OF THE FIRST IDEA OF MAN.

"Now the results of our philosophy are as follows:-We find in the internal mechanism of language the exact counterpart of the mental phenomena which writers on pyschology have so carefully collected and classified. We find that the structure of human speech is the perfect reflex or image of what we know of the organization of the mind: the same description, the same arrangement of particulars, the same nomenclature would apply to both, and we might turn a treatise on the philosophy of mind into one on the philosophy of language, by merely supposing that everything said in the former of the thoughts as subjective is said again in the latter of the words as objective."-J. W. Donaldson's New Cratylus. B. 1; chap. 3; p. 43.

"On every track of thought within this region (the metaphysical), the human mind goes forward, as if the tendency so to do sprung from its own structure, towards Unity. In the process of generalization the mind comes to no rest, and does not acquiesce in the result of its labours, until the comprehension of many constituent principles, or of a multitude of facts has brought them into a single point of view. All Phenomena must be reduced to a radial adjustment; they must combine themselves as related to a centre. Science confesses itself incomplete until this has been done. (p. 85).

Analytic thought or pure abstraction, pursued to its rudiments, can never yield an assurance of truth.

Assurance of truth must be the product of Connective or Synthetic thought when it issues in bringing before us a system of fitness and order."-Taylor's World of Mind, p. 95.

"We perceive and know that all the three, viz., things, thoughts, and words are distinct; but in every human discussion, nevertheless, they are the same in all respects for the purpose of discussion. The word is the thought of which we are speaking; the word is the thing of which we are reasoning; and the only thoughts or things that can be discussed or compared by men, are their words for their unknowable thoughts of unknowable things.

Philosophers and mankind, therefore, only deceive themselves and others whenever they think, or say that they can discuss anything whatever but human words. Man is cut off and separated from the world of mind, and the world of matter as they are in themselves, and all knowledge and all philosophy is only the science of human words; and that Science must at all times commence by assuming certain words as common to both sides, and as acknowledged and admitted by all who speak and reason."Haig's Symbolism, p. 183.
