| Summary |
"If I am not mistaken, we mean nowadays by intelligence, what was formerly called understanding or intellect-that is to say, the faculty of knowing; this, at least, is the sense in which I have taken the word. Such is the method it has been attempted to follow in this work. In the first part, the elements of knowledge have been determined; by consecutive reductions we have arrived at the most simple elements, and have passed from these to the physiological changes which are the condition of their origin. In the second part, we have first described the mechanism and general effect of their combination; then, applying the law we have discovered, we have examined the elements, formation, certitude, and range of the principal kinds of our knowledge, from that of individual things to that of general things, from the most special perceptions, previsions, and recollections, up to the most universal judgments and axioms"--Preface.
