    where only one exists,—as in the expressions, attention to, influence over, and others of a similar nature,—we would here mention, that all modes and operations, mental or corporeal, are considered as modes and operations, or variations, of only one and the same physical system. The term sensation, as used in the sequel, is de¬ signed to imply, simply, an activity of either of the senses, abstracted from its particular determination to any form, whether or not it be a subject of consciousness. Sensations in observation, sensations observa- tive, and external sensations, we use to imply, generally, the occupation of the sensations by modes in the external universe; and the terms, sensations in conception, sensations conceptive, and internal sensations, to imply, generally, the occupation of the sensations by causes purely in¬ ternal. With these preliminary observations, therefore, the author trusts himself to the indulgence of the reader.
