more than the difcernible organization muft be 
requifite to produce the phenomena of thinking.* 
Thus, my dear friend, have I played off my 
fmall ftock of quctations, againft one point of your 
excellent ‘Tracts; as Diogenes rolled about his tub, 
that he might not appear to be the only idle man 
in the City. I know that you will not mifinterpret 
this attempt to furnifh information, which medical 
writers only can fupply, concerning a queftion 
which you have treated with fo much clearnefs and 
precifion. However we may have differed in opi- 
nion, concerning this, and other fubjects of impor- 
tance, we have always agreed in preferving good 
humour. And in fueha conteft, it will be honour 
enough for me to fay with Lucran,f (but without 
intending a pun) xexvassen ¢ 7ib@e ev Kpavio,
