Inquiries Concerning the Intellectual Powers and the Investigation of Truth (1839)

The text of the following work, strictly speaking, is Dr. Abercrombie's treatise on the Human Mind, entire. The additions that have been made are intended, not to supply any supposed deficiencies in the original, but simply to adapt it to a purpose for which the book is, in the main, admirably suited: they are intended as nearly as was possible to be such additional explanations as the editor conceived the author would himself have made, had he have had in view while preparing the book, the purpose to which it is now applied. Contents: of the nature and extent of our knowledge of mind; of the origin of our knowledge of facts relating both to matter and mind; of the intelectual operations; view of the qualities and acquirements which constitute a well regulated mind.
