96 ANTIENT M-ETAPHYSICS. Book II. 



difFerence betwixt imagination and intelleSl^ and the other internal fa- 

 culties of the mind, (fo 1 call them from the objeds on which they ope- 

 rate), 1 fliall obferve that, when I come to fpeak of the int elk Bual mind. 



Tlie reader may perhaps be furprifed, that I have not mentioned 

 memory as one of the faculties of the mind belonging to the animal 

 nature, efpecially if he has read what Ariftotle has faid in more than 

 one place, inz. That other anii^als have memory as well as man *. 

 But [ obferve, that, in his books Dc Anima^ where he has treated 

 more accurately than any where elfe of all the faculties of the mind-t 

 and particularly of the phantafia^ as belonging to the animal 7iature, 

 and not to man only, he no where mentions memory as being of that 

 kind. And, in his book upon the fubje<ft of memory and reminifcence^ 

 though he fpeaks there of memory as belonging to other animals, he 

 admits, that there is memory of ideas, as well as of fenfible cbjeds. But 

 I incline to make a diftindion betwixt memory and imagination ; and, 

 to fay that memory is only of ideas, coniequently belongs only to man; 

 and that imagination is only of fenfible objeds, confequently belongs 

 both to man and brute. And this opinion is fupported by the autho- 

 rity of Plato in the Philebus, who exprefsly makes the diilindrion be- 

 twixt what is tvritten in the mind, and what is painted in it '\. Now, 

 what is written, I call ideas ; and memory is that part of the mind in 

 which they are preferved, and as it were recorded ; whereas, the paint- 

 ings in the 7ni7id are the images of fenfible objeds, which indeed only can 



be
