5173. METAPHYSICS, Views on.—[continued].

The science of the human
mind is curious, but is one on which I
have not indulged myself in much speculation.
The times in which I have lived, and the scenes
in which I have been engaged, have required me
to keep the mind too much in action to have
leisure to study minutely its laws of action.—
To Ezra Stiles. Washington ed. vii, 127.
(M. 1819)
