260 A. T. SCHOFIELD, ESQ., M.D., ETC., OM 



Dr. EoBEUT JoxES,F.R.C.8. — I am afraid I shall he regarded some- 

 what as a kill-joy if I do not agree with the remarks as to the value 

 of this paper. I am afraid, in this day, we are more or less mixed 

 up with the verhal aspect of psychology, and to my mind the paper 

 that has heen read has not so much contributed to the value of 

 physiology as I should have anticipated. I was not in time to 

 hear the paper read, but I read it before I came here, and, so far as 

 I can see, I expected a little more from " The Scope of Mind." I 

 expected the application, perhaps, of Ihe moral sentiment which is 

 sometimes called "the seventh sense." I expected, from a medical 

 reader, to have some application of the moral sense to a certain 

 area of the brain pei'haps. The late Dr. Jackson's views seem to 

 tally more with the psychological sense of the present day than 

 many otf those that have been published in different papers and 

 books on the subject. 



The relatirn of mind to body mnst ahvays remain a matter of 

 interest. How far it may be a matter of interest T am not 

 prepared to say, and I would suggest that, in future, the advantage 

 we are to derive from psychological research will not be so much 

 by the use of words. Mind has been held to include the conscious 

 being. We may look on mind in a physical aspect. This has been 

 recognised lately, so far as psychological research has gone, in the 

 University of Cambridge. 



I am sorry to say that I do not see tlie value of the paper in the 

 education of children and the treatment of diseases. The climax 

 is reached in the last few lines of the paper, where the author 

 says the point raised in the paper " lays bare at last the founda- 

 tions of character, of conscience, of the entire Ego so long obscured 

 by a psychology bounded by the conscious." The paper has not 

 explained characier, conscience, or the entire Ego. It has been a 

 paper built up, to my mind, by Avhat lias been taken from those 

 who have written on the subject — a kind of .summary, with a 

 request that mind should include not only conscious, but also 

 unconscious, actions. 



I am sorry that I do not agree with the value of the paper to 

 psychology. 



Profes.sor Orciiakd. — The able author of thi,-. ])apor will not, T 

 am sure, think it is from any want of appreciation of its value, 

 bxit I cannot see my way to concur in his very ingenious and 

 interesting conclusions.
