G. 



Some will be ready to ask if the Mind is diffused through the 

 brain or located at some point. It is not known. 



Again, some will be ready to ask, if all these questions can- 

 not be answered, how is it certain that there is any mind dis- 

 tinct from the Brain; indeed, Gall said that mind was the name 

 of the phenomena manifested by the activities of the Brain. 

 But that whole collection of parts undergoes more rapid changes 

 than any other portion of the body, so that the brain present in 

 the head when any transaction takes place is in a short time 

 entirely gone, while the memory of the net remains vivid for 

 years. A person is also conscious, through his memory, of a 

 continued individual existence from year to year, for scores of 

 years, or during a long life, while he is served during that time 

 "by many Brains, even by many Bodies. Mind is free, hence in- 

 tangible, and imperceptible to either of the senses, and therefore 

 not manifested, lest it be coerced by any despotism, whether of 

 opinion or of force.

True, the child uses its larynx to cry for food ; its upper ex- 

 tremities take everything direct to its mouth ; nothing solicits 

 the action of its lower extremities more strongly than something 

 to eat. The neck and the entire head also seem to serve, with 

 the most watchful alacrity, the wants of the contents of the 

 Trunk-Walls. 



But from infancy up to manhood, as the growth of the body 

 is becoming more and more complete, and it becomes more ca- 

 pable of its mental duties, so does the mind take control of it, 

 and permits less and less attention and time to be bestowed 

 upon the stomach. 



I. 



The Sensational and Motional operations of the Mind will 

 not be disputed, and the other two, Emotional and Intellectional, 

 belong rather to the field of Psychology to discuss. It suits the 

 purposes of Physiology to consider all the operations of the 

 Mind not sensational nor motional as being Emotions or Intellec- 

 tions. Whether this classification is right or wrong, and in any 

 case, the other mental operations, except Sensational and Mo- 

 tional, take place through the use of parts of the Brain only ; 

 and of the mode of action, no one has any correct conception. 

 Consequently to Physiology it is a matter of indifference how 

 the Emotions and Intellections are classed, speaking of them 

 abstractly, while practically there are some advantages in the 

 method chosen.

If the two be placed on the thumbs' ends, the B on the left 

 one, and the N on the right one, and the four of each of the
