by a proper mode of approaching the subject, a very considerable 
degree of accuracy is attainable. 
“ As to the present position of the science of mind in the British 
Association, it is nowhere. Taken in snatches, it appears in several 
places; it would come in under zodlogy, which embraces all that 
relates to animals; under physiology, in connection with the 
nervous system and the senses; and it figures still more largely, 
although in an altogether subordinate and scarcely acknowledged 
fashion, in the section on anthropology. Indeed, to exclude it 
rom this section would be impossible; man is nothing without 
his mind. 
“Now, while zoology and physiology would keep the study 
of mind within narrow limits, there is no such narrowness in the 
present section. In the ample bosom of anthropology, any really 
valuable contribution to the science of mind should have a nat- 
ural place. 
“ Psychology has now a very large area of neutral [non-contro- 
versial] information; it possesses materials gathered by the same 
methods of rigorous observation and induction that are followed in 
the other sciences. The researches of this section exemplify some -~ 
of these. If these researches are persisted in, they will go still 
further into the heart of psychology as a science, and the true 
course will be to welcome all the new experiments for determin- 
reference to our sensations; the whole of the present mathematics | 
of man, bodily and mental ; the still more advanced inquiries re- 
lating to our intelligence ; and the nature of emotion, as illustrated 
by expression, in the manner of Darwin’s famous treatise. In- 
deed, if you weré to admit such a paper as that contributed by 
r, Spencer to the Anthropological Institute, you would commit 
yourself to a much further raid on the ground of psychology than 
'S implied in such an enumeration as the foregoing.” —/. Anthrop.
