ON THE ELEMENT OF SYMBOLIC 

 CORRELATION IN EXPRESSION. 1 



/ 



THE very use of the word expression implies a 

 relationship between mind and body ; for that 

 which is expressed is a condition of mind, and that 

 by which it is expressed is a condition of body ; 

 while the problem remains for both the naturalist 

 and the metaphysician By what means do move- 

 ments of the body, or more widely, conditions of 

 matter afford an index to conditions of the mind ? 

 Expression may be said to be conveyed through 

 the medium of the senses of sight and hearing. 

 The other senses may be left out of consideration ; 

 for flavours and odours, however far-reaching their 

 effects on the percipient, have no utility whatever 

 in directly determining conditions of other minds, 

 and the sense of touch refers to forms and movements
