{I. Mental Operations} Class I. Operations in the performance of which the subject is considered as being regarded entirely, i.e. in an entire state, and at the same time singly, i.e. not in conjunction with others - without regard to past or future time, and without regard to any person other than the person he himself by whom the operation is considered as performed.-

1. Perception - Conception - Apprehension.- When perception has place, the source or perceptible object from whence it is derived being an individual portion of matter, in a real, a real corporeal entity - (a being coming under the denomination of body - of a body -) impressions are at the time in question made on Sense: on some one or more of all the senses, to the cognizance of which the object stands exposed: of the perception thereupon obtained, these impressions are the immediate object and subject: the body itself - i.e. the existence of it, is but, in a secondary and comparatively remote way, the object or subject of perception: of this supposed source of the perceptions that are experienced, the existence is, strictly speaking, rather a subject of inference than of perception: of inferance,[?] judgment, ratiocination, which is liable to be erroneous, and in experience is very frequently found to be so.

{ Give example}

Scarce does a perception take place, but it is accompanied - accompanied generally - without any consciousness of, because without any reflection on - without any attention paid to it, accompanied with a corresponding judgment or act of the judgment, of the judicial faculty.
