Johnson esq./ of Utica/ N.Y."' Johnson was an Amewrican philosopher and banker.

To reconcile this inconsistency, he devised an operational method of studying the function of language, differentiating its "physical," "emotional," and "intellectual" components. He adapted his linguistic theory in writings on politics, economics, and morality. Ency. Brit. Original cloth, paper label, top of spine repaired.
