VIII. Of the Principal Acts of the Understanding, or 



THOSE OF THE FlKST OrDEE FROM WHICH ALL THE 

 REST ARE DERIVED . - - . 



That the principal acts of the understanding are attention, a 

 special preparatory state of the organ, without which none of its 

 acts could he produced ; thought, from which spring complex 

 ideas of all orders ; memory, whose acts, named recollections, 

 recall ideas of any kind, by bringing them again to the inner 

 feeling, or consciousness of the individual ; and judgments, which 

 are the most important acts of the understanding, and without 

 which no reasoning, or act of will could be produced, nor any 

 knowledge be acquired.
