'.4. Distinctive character of this art as compared with other arts and sciences.}

What distinguishes this art from every other branch of art and science is - that in its field of action are contained the several fields of actions of all those other branches of science and art: in the field of action of this discipline

* are included the several fields of action of all those other disciplines.

By what mark then does it stand distinguished from the aggregate of those disciplines? - By its generality - its amplitude - and nothing else.

Of the observations which respectively apply to the subjects of these several disciplines those which are most general may be referred to the head of logic. In no quarter therefore are those boundaries fixt, by which the field of logic is separated from the respective fields of those several other and subject disciplines.

Thus in government, the territorial field of the dominion of the sovereign is composed of the territorial fields of the dominion of the several individual and particular land-owners.

For its subject or ground to work upon, that logic - this all-embracing and all-commanding discipline has the mind - the human mind - composed as it is of, and distinguishable into, the several distinguishable faculties: viz. 1. perception. 2. retention. 3. re-exhibition or revocation. 4. attention. 5. abstraction. 6. judgment or internal persuasion. 7. imagination. 8. invention. 9. symbolization or denomination. 10. Methodization or arrangement. 11. Communication, viz. purposed or voluntary communication.
