Excerpt from The American Repertory of Arts, Sciences and Useful Literature, Vol. 1: August, 1831 That nothing may be wanting on my part, I shall subjoin the very ingenious method pursued by the im mortal Locke, for placing within his own immediate grasp, by the aid of a general index, each and every portion of all his multifarious reading during many years of his assiduous life. This plan, in the course of my succeeding lectures, will be fully explained and reduced to practice, and cannot fail to be highly useful to any individual who adopts it. It will gradually lead the mind into a ready and systematic analysis or syn thesis, as the nature of the case may require, of every subject brought within its scope. This will tend to an ultimate expansion of the mental faculties, and par ticularly to maturing the judgment, and strengthening the memory, of which I have more fully spoken in my general introduction.
