    INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. The relation of physical phenomena to human happiness is amply investigated in the present day. But the direct and practical effect, which the philosophy of mind is calculated to produce, has received far less systematic inquiry. That this should be the case, might easily be antici- pated from the different degree of precision, which the steps made in each of these pursuits are capable of obtaining. And yet, with less pubhc estimation of their value, the few prin- ciples thus actually obtained are calculated to exert a most beneficial influence on mankind.
