Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Philosophy of the Human Mind, Vol. 1 of 2 From the necessity of such inquiries we are now fortunately freed. The frivolous solemnities of argument, which, in the disputations of Scotists and Thornists, and the long controversy of the believers and rejectors of the uni versal a parte rei, rendered human ignorance so very proud of its temporary triumphs over human ignorance, at length are hushed for ever and, so preca rions is all that glory, of which men are the dispensers, that the most subtile works, which for ages conferred on their authors a reverence more than praise, and almost worship, would now scarcely find a philosophic adventurer, so bold, as to avow them for his own.
