Book Description :
Excerpt from The Origin of Thought The study of the human mind, it appears to me, ought to be as easy as the study of the body and it probably would be if those who write of it were to express themselves in language understanded of the people. But generally Speaking this is not done. Men, therefore, who are under the impression that they can speak and understand what is written in their own language, are in consequence surprised when they take up a book professing to explain the human mind, to find that books can be written in their own language of which they can understand scarcely a single sentence. The result is they give it up in despair. A middle-aged fox terrier who has seen himself twice in a mirror, will generally, when it is placed before him for the third time, turn away from it. He cannot understand it, and to be forced to look into it gives him pain. Many years ago the writer lent a Copy of Sir W. Hamilton's Metaphysics to a clergyman who was a university graduate. After reading the first two chapters the book was returned by the reader, who said he could make nothing of it, and had no idea what it was about. Urged to persevere, he definitely declined, saying he could never understand it. Yet there is no doubt that Sir W. Hamilton wrote under the impression that his books would be Simplicity itself to graduates, for he wrote to explain metaphysics and logic.
