    EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES, ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE FUNCTIONAL ONENESS, UNITY, AND DIFFUSION, OF NERVOUS ACTION; IN OPPOSITION TO THE ANATOMICAL ASSUMPTION, OF FOUR SETS OF NERVES, AND A FOURFOLD SET OF FUNCTIONS, AND TRANSMITTED IMPRESSIONS; WITH A BRIEF EXPOSITION OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF VIVISECTION, AND OF SENSATION. BY BENNET DOWLER, 1?I. D., OF NEW-ORLEANS, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; Member of the American Medical Association, and its Chairman of the Committee of the Medical Sciences for 1850-1; Member of the Medico-Chirurgical College of Philadelphia 6fc, What truth so ever is necessary, and of universal extent, is derived to the mind from its own opera- tion, [as the infinity of space, and of duration] and does not rest on observation and experience ; as, conversely, what truth or perception is present to the mind, with a consciousness, not of its necessity, but of its contingency, is ascribable not to the origi- nal agency of the mind itself, but derives its origin from observation and experience.
