Summary:

These lectures contain many new and original views of the phenomena of thought, and an improved classification of the various states of mind. Brown's system of the philosophy of the mind has the merit of uncommon simplicity in its elementary principles, and of forcible and various illustration. Each lecture is introduced by general remarks on the discussions which precede it. These are often drawn out to a considerable length, especially where the same subject is extended through several lectures, which is not infrequently the case. Such recapitulations serve a beneficial purpose in oral discourses, by refreshing the memory of the hearers as to the order of the discussion, after an interval or rest or of other occupations.--Preface.
