the principle of perception, memory, intelligence, and volition, in man; which, since the earliest era of philosophy, has furnished questions of difficult investigation, and materials of keen and important controversy (see Metaphysics, Part III. chap. ii. iii. iv. v.; and Resurrection, p. 42—48.) In the fourth volume of the Memoirs of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester, the reader will find a very valuable paper by Dr Farrier, proving, by evidence apparently complete, that every part of the brain has been injured without affecting the act of thought. An abridgment of that memoir would weaken its reasoning; which, built on matters of fact and experience, appears to us to have shaken the modern theory of the Materialists from its very foundation.
