Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of the Mind, Vol. 3 This gratification they would yield to us, even if we were to regard them only in the past, as objects of a science purely Speculative. But, when we consider the relations of events, in their aptitudes to precede and follow, as equally diffused over the time that is to come, as presenting to us, everywhere in the past or present sequences observed by us, the source of some future good or future evil; of good which we can obtain, and of evil which we can avoid, merely by knowing the order in which these past sequences have occurred; the knowledge of these invariable relations of succes sion becomes to us inestimable, not as a medium only of intellectual luxury, but as the medium of all the arts of life, and even of the continuance of our very physical existence, which is preserved only by an nu ceasing adaptation of our actions to the fitnesses or tendencies of external things.
