    guish it when * immersed in matter * and clothed in innumerable circum . stances , should be in their estimation ) the triumph and the test of phi . losophic inquiry . The more rational metaphysics which prevail among most English and French philosophers , lead to logical results not so different from these

    as the difference of the premises might lead one to suppose . Though classification be conventional , all science consists in generalization , and our attainments in science may be measured by the number of general truths which we are acquainted with , that is , by the amount of what we are able to predicate of classes . And , as we are at liberty to take any

    of the properties of an object for principles of classification , we can only know the essences of all possible classes by knowing all that is to be known concerning objects . In this sense , all science may be said , even by a follower of Locke or Condillac , to consist in knowing the essences of classes .

    To apprehend with accuracy and distinctness all that is included in the conception of the classes which we have formed for ourselves , or which have been formed for us by our predecessors , does not according to this theory as according to Plato ' s , constitute philosophy ; but whoever takes this as his object , will scarcely fail of attaining all the other results which philosophy proposes to itself ; at least in the field of morals

    and psychology ; where the desideratum ia not so much new facts , as a more comprehensive survey of known facts in their various bearings , all which are sure to be successively forced upon the attention by a wellconducted and unbiassed inquiry into the meaning of established terms , or , what is the same tiling , into the essences of established classes . And this is the substance of Plato ' s analytic method .

    Zahoran was a rich man living in Jerusalem ; and besides having large store of gold and precious stones , he owned more flocks than any other inhabitant of the city . Though of a proud and ambitious disposition , there was much generosity and nobleness in his nature . He had a daughter , named Leah , who was

    very beautiful and of a tender heart , and her father loved her with a sincere love . It so chanced , when she had reached her seventeenth summer , that a pestilential fever broke out in the city , and as its ravages increased , sparing neither young nor old , the poor man in his shed , or the rich in their palaces , Zahoran took his daughter with him to resid e in a distant vale , until the

    change of season should carry off the distemper . It was one evening , not long after they had left Jerusalem , that Leah , wandering with her maids through a green and shady valley , first heard the sweet sound of Akiba * s voice , calling to his herds in the fresh meads beyond , and min g lin g his tones with fragments of a plaintive song . Now this Akiba was only a poor herdsman of the vale .
