Tiicrc boa been as grcut a diiference ol" opinion in accounting for thc opcralions ofthe functions of
j the mind. The formation of all the inlellectual operations, according to the metaphysical school,
' however moditied nnd mystified by tlic teeming imaginations of visionary theorists, may be redu¬ ced to two: The first descends from I*i..uo; whose system regards the mind as con^lilnled of innate idea?—tbat in tho mind there cxir^ts inde. pendcnlly ofthe senses, notions, types, nrchitypes, or internal models of all naturul objects, which may be known from thc mind ilsell, wilhont the uid of tlio scnscB. Thc second traccd,to Aristotle, fevi- ved byLocKE,nnd embraced by t'oNuiULAc, Har- VEV, BcLNNET, BuFFON, Desru-TT TnAcv, Uuow.v, Reiu, Stew.\rt, and the Scutch metapbysiciuns, miiintaincd tlnitthc intelligence or understanding is destitute ijf innate ideas—that at birth the mind is a tabula rara.or blank ; thut it is a single prim. itive fiicultyr to which dit;|Mi«iiions arc im|)artcd ; that all the other abstract lucultie^ which tbcy de¬ rive from it, attentinn,comparison, judgment, mem¬ ory rfjhction, imagination und reanoning, are mere modifications nf sensation—thai ideas arc derived exclusively from .•"cii-sai'ms, und thut knowledge is acquired solely frnni rx](crienee. In a word, lhc Mind is regarded by all ofUbem, as a fingle gcn;'- ral power, withont dcteriniiKile tuncUons, or con- slitution ofany kind
Thc system of Gai.i. nnd SpuaznEiM, whicb is destined to silpcrccde ull the. foregoing, contends tliat thc inind is c6ni(i(iscd of a plurality of faoul- ties (ineaning.-by the word lucultyt a power or in¬ strument of tbougbt nfa limited nature, having specific functious;) lliul the brain' contains as niu¬ ny diiferent o%ans as there are faculties, eacii ol'| which perforni speei'il uperations in the manifesta¬ tions ofthe intellect.
