XXXIII.J MENTAL DEVELOPMENT, 79 



witli each other ; but this is not any proof of inaccuracy : 

 I have endeavoured to make each separately accurate from 

 its own point of view. 



As the use of a tabular statement like this is not to 

 communicate information or ideas in the first instance, but 

 to give a concluding summary of them, it may be well first 

 to state its substance in an ordinary paragi'aph. 



Sensation may produce no effect beyond itself, or it may Summarj'. 

 produce consciousness, or it may produce action. Con- 

 sciousness is either intellectual or emotional. The intel- 

 lectual nature has two distinct developments ; one in the 

 direction of memory and imagination, the other in the 

 direction of the reasoning power. The germ of memory is 

 the continuance of the consciousness of sensation after the 

 sensation itself has ceased : this successively develops into 

 memory by suggestion, voluntary recollection, and imagi- 

 nation. The germ of the reasoning power is the cognition 

 of such simple relations as likeness, succession, and the 

 space-relation : this successively develops into perception 

 of things, the power of simple inference, and the power of 

 abstract reasoning. The germ of the emotional nature is 

 the sense of pleasure and pain in mere sensation : this 

 develops into desire and fear; the emotions due to asso- 

 ciation, such as the love of money ; the sympathetic 

 emotions ; the love of beauty and of knowledge ; and the 

 moral sense, or sense of holiness. "When sensation pro- 

 duces action, this in its simplest form is consensual 

 action : it successively develops into the voluntary direc- 

 tion of muscular action, and the voluntary direction of 

 thought.
