Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Congregational Review, 1871, Vol. 11 Among the additions in Vol. I. Is the following on Habit, indicating that the author does not use the word law in any one sense: We sometimes Speak of Habit as a law, and sometimes as a power. The term law denotes a fixed line or mode of action; but if the action has a beginning, and if it tends to certain fixed results, which would not other wise have existed, it implies the existence somewhere of power. But it' it should be conceded that it is preper to speak of Habit as a mental power (a view in support of which much might be said), it is not in any preper sense of the terms a Cognitive power; in other words. It does not directly and by its own action originate or increase our knowledge; but it often times very greatly aide the action of the faculties of cognition as well as the emotional and other susceptibilities. The following remarks on the true philosophical method are a good example of the new matter introduced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
