facts, they are only names of modes of the j)rimitive faculti«s. 

 In like manner (juietness, temperance, &c, only mean tlie different 

 degrees of activity in tlie faculty. Passion is the highest degree of 

 activity of any faculty; a man devoted to music, painting, &c. is 

 passionately fond of tiiose arts ; and so of all others. Pleasure or 

 the state of heing j)leascd does not indicate the faculty or the 

 activity of the faculty ; it is therefore only a mode of activity. 

 A religious man is pleased with religion, &c. a faculty unoccupied 

 is displeased ; hence men are displeased u'itii every thing which 

 does not engage their faculties, or, in the familiar phrase, for 

 which they have no taste. No faculty peculiar to man can be 

 angry; anger is only a mode of action, an affection of combative- 

 ness ; anxiety, sorrow, &c. belong to cautiousness, and com- 

 passion to benevolence ; jealousy arises from covetiveuess and 

 self-love, from amativeness if relating to women, or from appro- 

 bation if disappointed in praise; emv is jealousy uninfluenced 

 by benevolence ; shame is a compound affection arising from 

 self-love and approbation. Attention is different in different 

 animals ; every creature has its peculiar attention to some things. 

 If faculty is active, then there is attention which only indicates 

 activity. We cannot command attention to any thing at all 

 times ; there is no faculty of attention, but an attention to every 

 faculty. Perception is the knowledge of an object carried to the 

 brain, reflection reproducing this perception is memory ; one 

 remembers names, anotiier forms, a third numbers, &;c. there 

 being different kinds of memory according to tiie particular in- 

 dividual. Men who reflect remember better than those who do 

 not ; tliis is occasioned by the mutual influence of the faculties. 

 Perception is the first degree of acti\ itv, memory or remembrance 

 the second ; difference between memory and remembrance, vvc 

 remember a f^ct without having memory sufficient to repeat all 

 the circumstances ; many persons Femember having learned a 

 song, but cannot rejjeat it ; others know the name of any person 

 or thing, yet cannot mention it, but they recollect some circum- 

 stance whicii proves their knowledge of the fact; remembrance 

 belongs to tiie faculty of iridividuality ; memory to the percep- 

 tion only. Imagination belongs to the third or highest de- 

 gree of activity ; there are only three degrees of activity, al- 

 though Gall m.ade four in eaclj organ. Internal propensities in 

 man are instinct in brutes. Judgement is found in the highest 

 and lowest degree of activity ; a good judgement often exists 

 without a good memory, and vice versa ; hence it is a mode of 

 activity. The relation between the knowing faculties and ex- 

 ternal objects is judgement ; every intellectual faculty has a 

 judgement ; but because the reflecting faculties are more active, 

 we cull him who judges correctly, a person of good judgement.
