as well as external, the chief function of the spirit being Feeling 

 (more or less complex and of various kinds) and Will; the one- 

 receptive, the other re-active. Hence the importance of the 

 Christian doctrine of " the redemption of the body," and comfort 

 also to those who fear ghosts. 



Kemarks by Professor H. Lang horn e Orchard : — 

 There is much in this thoughtful and ingenious paper with which 

 I have the satisfaction of agreeing. Especially valuable seem to me 

 the author's observations upon free will and the regulative character 

 of our knowledge. 



I cannot, however, assent to his definition of psychology as the 

 study of man (page 26). Psychology is the study of soul ; the study 

 of man concerns itself with anthropology. Nothing is gained by 

 using terms in a sense different from their accepted meaning. 

 I also wish to point out that the author speaks of " that 

 thinking which we call knowing or believing" Does this mean that 

 (a) there is no third form of thinking (e.g., doubting) ; or that (b} 

 knowing or believing are one particular form of thinking, and both 

 are one and the same thing 1 The correlation of the sciences is an 

 important truth, which, to my mind, is obscured by calling every- 

 thing psychology that is not physics. And does not the study of 

 man necessarily connect itself with that study of physics from 

 which it is proposed to separate it ? The theory that the self 

 consists of a human soul and a human body in union may 

 appear to have some historical support in Leibnitz's supposition 

 that a person consists of soul and body together. But, if the 

 theory be sound, the self of to-day is not the self of yesterday,, 

 for one of the constituent parts, viz., the body, has changecL 

 Further, if the self is constituted by a human soul in union 

 with a human body, it certainly follows that when this union is 

 dissolved at death, the self is dissolved also, and ceases to exist. 



Kemarks by Mr. Martin Eouse :— 



The mind is a unity in a different sense from what the 

 body is ; or what the body and mind in combination are. For,, 

 firstly, there are portions of our body that we are continually 

 rubbing off or cutting off ; but whoever heard of one's taking 

 off a piece from one's mind (although figuratively we may speak 

 of "giving a man a riece of one's mind"); and, secondly, the
