Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Congregational Review, 1871, Vol. 11 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 if it should be conceded that it is proper to speak of Habit as a mental power (a view in support of which much might be said), it is not in any proper 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 aids the action of the faculties of cognition as well as the emotional and other susceptibilities.
