intellects. The gradual production of the results is the real cause of the
difficulty of following them by words, – & the absence of appropriate
words to express the different phenomena leaves the erroneous impression
that the phenomena are themselves entangled & confused. To deny the
connection is to deny the association of ideas in the minds of children – is tho'
this association is exhibited in the very earliest development of intellect – &
it is no more to be wondered at than that a child should put out its
hands rather than its feet to grasp an object – or direct organically
as it were its little means to an end.

And as the child grows to manhood – & manhood
with its stronger powers, & passions impels to more ambitious efforts, – the
thirst for praise becomes more ardent. It is for this that men sacrifice
their repose – &rush on to the goal even of public misery thro' the ranks of
embattled competitors & in the defiles of toil & danger. It is for this
that in happier times, men that, thro' the phalanxes & amidst the
darts of ignorance & envy, men urge their course to the goal of public
felicity, content tho' it should be their fate to sacrifice their tranquillity
in the contest.
