Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Intellectual Philosophy
Having been intended for oral delivery, they were, in many respects, modified by the circumstances of their origin. Hence, illustrations have been introduced more freely than would other wise have seemed necessary. In preparing them for the press, however, I was led to consider the class of persons for whose use they were principally designed. I remembered the dith culty of fixing definitely in the mind of the pupil the nature and limits of subjective truth; and therefore allowed my instruo tions to retain in general the form which they had previously assumed. Whether I have in this respect judged wisely, it is not for me to determine.
I have not entered upon the discussion of many of the topics which have called into exercise the acumen of the ablest meta physicians. Intended to serve the purposes of a text-book, it was necessary that the volume should be compressed within a compass adapted to the time usually allotted to the study of this science in the colleges of our country. I have, therefore, attempted to present and illustrate the important truths in intel lectual philosophy, rather than the inferences which may be drawn from them, or the doctrines which they may presuppose. These may be pursued to any length, at the option of the teacher. If I have not entered upon these discussions, I hope that I have prepared the way for their more ample and truthful develop ment.
It has been my desire to render this work an aid to mental improvement. For this purpose, I have added practical sug gestions on the cultivation of the several faculties. Earnest minded young men frequently err in their attempts at self-im provement. It has seemed to me, therefore, that a work of this kind would be manifestly imperfect, did it not directly, as well as indirectly, aid the student in his efforts to discipline and strengthen his intellectual energies.
