FIRST PROVINCE; 



PSYCHONOMY. 



IN the province of Psychonomy, we include those studies which 

 relate more particularly to the human intellect, and the laws by 

 which it is governed. The name is derived from the Greek, ^VM, 

 the soul ; and vopo s , law ; literally signifying the Laws of the Mind, in 

 contradistinction from those of Matter. In this province we compre- 

 hend the departments of Glossology, or Languages ; Pyschology, or 

 Mental Sciences ; Nomology, or the Studies of Law and Govern- 

 ment ; and Theology, or the Study of all Religions. The reasons for 

 arranging these departments in this order, and comprehending them 

 together in the first province of human knowledge, have already been 

 briefly explained, [p. 33. 35].
