In examining, according to their organs, our classes of sensation; and considering what feelings the organic affections excite at present, and what we may suppose them to have excited originally,-- we will begin with those which are most simple, taking them in the order of smell, taste, hearing,--not so much from any hope, that the information which these afford will throw any great light on the more complex phenomena of sight and touch, as because the consideration of them is easier, and may prepare us gradually for this difficult analysis, which awaits us afterwards, in the examination of those more perplexing phenomena.
