The vesicular matter, wherever found, is regarded as a generator ofnervous influence ; and the white or tubular as the carrier of that iu-rluence to the various parts of the system. The former portion issupplied with much t,he largest proportion of blood. The general nervous system is susceptible of a division into fivesubordinate systems: 1. The nutritive system, or nerves of organiclife. 2. The motory system, or nerves of voluntary motion. 3. Thesentient system, or nerves of 4. Ths mental system, orbrain. 5.
