our David Hartley's essay on Man, which
is well known under the whimsical name of Condillac's Logic. But, as
Mr. Brand has lately observed, "the French are a queer people," and
we should not be at all surprised to hear of a book of fresh
importation from Paris, on determinate proportions in chemistry,
announced by the author in his title-page as a new and improved
system either of arithmetic or geometry.

14 Such is the interpretation given by Lord Bacon. To which of the two
gigantic intellects, the poet's or philosophic commentator's, the
allegory belongs, I shall not presume to decide. Its extraordinary
beauty and appropriateness remains the same in either case.

15 The Anatomical Demonstrations of the Brain, by Dr. Spurzheim, which
I have seen, presented to me the most satisfactory proof of this.

16 The remark on the feeling of the antennae, compared with the touch of
man, or even of the half-reasoning elephant, is yet more applicable
to the taste, which in these gelatinous animals might, perhaps not
inappropriately, be entitled the gastric sense.
