A new treatise of the art of thinking; or : a compleat system of reflections, concerning the conduct and improvement of the mind ; illustrated with variety of characters and examples drawn from ordinary occurrences of life . eenmade long fmce very familiar to us, and by which our newAcquifitions have been continually connefted with the every Part of Learning, we fhall have fo manydiflind Syjlerns.

In the meantime we may make ufe of a Work, which at leaft mentionswith tolerable Exadnefs all the Subje6ts that belong to anyScience, and ranges them iii an Order eafy to be remembrcd,by avoiding Repetitions, by alTigning diiferent Places todifferent Things, and by paffing gradually from the moftiimple to the moft compounded, frc^ moft eafy to themoft difficult. ] -jf/o -jv.
