The dependence of the mind upon the
condition of body has been much dwelt on,
and the student owes a debt of gratitude to
those investigators who have given this fact
such prominence and emphasis. "But after
all, it is wonderful how the m'.d often as

her wost brilltant effects.
This significant supremacy confirms the
belief, that there is in us an immaterial
principle, not absolutely dependant on bod

solely dependant on the functions of the

What is reason? It is ordinarily de
fined to be the power of comnsring our
ideas and discriminating their differences
and resemblances.
What is the imagination? It is the power
of calling up at will aud assembling vari

These powers then do not exist in a slate
ot war but of permanent alliance. Fancy
without judgement isextravag-iBceand folly.
Judgment without fancy is unproductive
