SECT. XXII. 5. REPETITION AND IMITATION. 303 



of in Se&ion XXXV. Where the aftions of other 

 perfons are imitated, there can be no doubt, or where 

 \veimitateapreconceivedidea by exertion of our 

 locomotive mufcles, as in painting a dragon ; all 

 thefe imitations may aptly be referred to the fources 

 above defcribed of the propenfity to activity, and 

 the facility of repetition ; at the fame time I do not 

 affirm, that all thofe other apparent fenfitive and ir- 

 ritative imitations may not be refolvable into affo- 

 ciations of a peculiar kind, in which certain diftant 

 parts of fimilar irritability or fenfibility, and which 

 have habitually acted together, may affect each other 

 exactly with the fame kinds of motion ; as many 

 parts are known to fympathife in the quantity of their 

 motions. And that therefore they may be ultimately 

 refolvable into alfociadons of aftion, as defcribed in.
