to investigate the origin and growth of knowledge--the laws under which knowledge comes to be. Under one aspect this science--psychology--should be placed highest up in the scale; but under another it would rank later in point of development than even biology itself, because it is not every being that thinks. This twofold aspect is accounted for by the peculiarity of its subject-matter--viz., mind. The sciences are comparatively modern. Mathematics but some 3000 or 4000 years old; physics, three centuries; chemistry, a thing of the last, biology only of the present century. But men philosophized before the sciences. The ancient Greeks had but one science--mathematics. Now men know a little of many sciences; but what we want is men to connect--to knit together--the sciences; to have their knowledge all of a piece. The knowledge of the ancient Greek directed his actions, and entered far more into his daily life than ours does. This, he observed, was philosophy. This is what we want now; and this is what is to be got from psychology. There is not a single thing between heaven and earth that does not admit of a mental expression; or, in other words, possess a subjective aspect, and therefore come under psychology. This, in briefest outline, is a sketch of the "strong meat" offered to the psychological ladies. A single branch of psychology--that, namely, of the intellect, excluding that of feeling and action--is to occupy ten lectures, the above being number one. The other twenty will be devoted to logic. The next lecture was devoted to an examination of the brain and nervous system, and their office in mental processes. Alas, however, how different was now the audience! Only some thirty ladies--scarcely more than one-tenth of those who were present at the opening lecture--have permanently entered for the course. It is no disrespect to the ladies to hazard the conjecture whether the subject be not a little out of range for the present. We are moving ahead rapidly, and many foolish ideas as to the intellectual differences of the sexes are becoming obsolete. We have literary and artistic ladies by thousands. Scientific ladies, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, are coming well to the front. Possibly we may have to "wait a little longer" before we get, on anything like a large scale, psychological or even logical ladies. CHAPTER XXX. SECULARISM ON BUNYAN.
