Philosophy of the Human Mind

The subject on which we are about to enter, and which is to engage, I trust, a considerable portion of your attention for many months, is the Philosophy of the Human Mind, - not that speculative and passive philosophy only, which inquires into the nature of our intellectual part, and the mysterious connexon of this with the body which it animates, but that practical science, which relates to the duties, and the hopes, and the great destiny of man, and which, even in analyzing the powers of his understanding, and tracing all the various modifications of which it is individually susceptible, views it chiefly as a general instrument of good - an instrument by which he may have the dignity of co-operating with his beneficent Creator, by Spreading to others the knowledge, and virtue, and happiness, which he is qualified at once to enjoy, and to diffuse.
