Excerpt from Mental and Moral Science: A Compendium of Psychology and Ethics The present treatise contains a Systematic Exposition of mind, a History of the leading questions in Mental Philosophy, and a copious Dissertation on ethics. The Exposition of mind, occupying nearly half the work, is, for the most part, an abridgement of my two volumes on the subject. I have singled out, and put in conspicuous type, the leading positions and have given a sufficient number of examples to make them understood. It is not to be expected that the full effect of the larger exposition can be produced in the shorter; still, there may be an occasional advantage in the more succinct presenta tion of complicated doctrines.
