Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Asylum Journal of Mental Science, 1855, Vol. 1 A fundamental distinction should be made between the intellectual and the moral and instinctive faculties; such are the feelings (sentiments), passions, inclina tions, internal senses, aptitudes, etc. To the former the intellectual - belongs, so to speak, the monopoly of the formation of thought. It is the understanding alone that conceives ideas, aggregates them, evolves inductions and resolutions, and dictates actions there from. On the contrary, the moral and instinctive forces are but promoters and auxiliaries to the intel lectual; they furnish the elements of action and the opportunities of exhibiting them.
