Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Jacobin Review and Magazine, or Monthly Political and Literary Censor, Vol. 12: From May to August (Inclusive), 1802; With an Appendix, Containing an Ample Review of Foreign Literature Let us examine, however, one or two of his enumerations and defi nitions, that we may fee what acutenefs and accuracy we have to ex peéi from him as a metaphyftcian. Perception, judgment, reafon ing, and difpofition, fays he, in his introdufiion, are the opera tions of the mind in the acquifition and communication of know ledge. By this account, memory has nothing to dt')m in the acquift tion of knowledge. At the beginning of 30:3t is this definition, Perception is the attention which the mind pays to a variety of impreflions made upon it by external objects, or by internal feelings; or, it is the faculty by which we acquire fenfations and ideas. Nat to ailt him what he means by impreliions made upon the mind, or how external objectscan make an imprefiion on the mind, let us only ail: what he means by internal feelings making an impreflion on the mind. If thefe feelinos are of the internal part of the body, they make impreflions on fhe mind in the fame way as the feelings of the external part. But if they be what are called mental feelings, we, know not what kind of impreflion on the mind-a mental feeling can make. The mental feeling is itfelf an imprefliou, by Mr. B.'s dofirine: to fay, therefore, that a mental feeling makes an im pmfiion on the'mind is to fay that an imprellion on the mud makes an imprefiion on the mind. Q Or, Cays Mr. B. Perception is the faculty by which we acquire fenfations and ideas To make this definition intelligible, he fhould firit havegiven us the definition of fanfation and idea. However he gives it'os immediaw after. Seafation, fays lie, is the per ccption of an object by the organs of fenfe. By the definition of perception, fenfation is got by means of perception. By the de finition of fenfation, it is perceptim itfel f. Perception therefore is got -by means of perception, and refutation and perception are the fame thing.
