Excerpt from On the Philosophy of the Mind
The Philosophy of the Mind is of recent origin, and of slow growth. Its genuine materials arc therefore very scanty. Most works upon the mind are chiefly occupied in refuting former errors, and these errors being derived from ancient theories, the true Philosophy of the Mind, though conducted on very different principles, still continues to be involved in some degree in the disputes of Metaphysics. A brief notice of the history of Speculative Opinions is therefore useful, both as indicating the sources of several errors which still prevail, and as accounting for the slight and partial attention which the genuine study of the subject has yet received.
