Hume introduces his intellectual faculties without any
arrangement or order. They may however be conveniently
classed.

First. Passive Faculties — I. those which operate without the
need of much attention or compassion, on more
than one object.
1. Perception — the nurse source of all the other faculties
2. Memory — becomes active when attention is applied
to it.
3. Imagination — a passive quality for it is busy
even in dreams — when active it becomes invention.
II. Operating on two or more objects but still without
need of much attention —
1. Judgment — as in the case of vision —
Second — Faculties active = volitional
I. Operating without need of the judgment or more
than one object
1. Attention
2. Observation — which is attention applied to a particular
object.
Third
1. Abstraction
2. Analysis
3, Synthesis, or Combination
4. Composition
5. Generalization
6. Deduction.
Fourth
1. Distribution
2. Methodization

Invention is performed by the use of the other faculties including
attention in an intense degree, under the direction of the judgment
and having for its object the discovery of some new
fact, the production of some new effect, or the formation
of some new combination of ideas.

Communication, with which closes Hume closes his
list, seem to have no right to be classed among
the intellectual faculties.
