summary:
  A correct etymology would unfold the rude and simple origin of many words, that our Anglo-saxon, and Norman ancestors have bequeathed to us; although we are now but little sensible of the legacy; as the great mass feels no inclination to revert to the source of derivation. The intrinsic meaning of many words, especially the particles, will appear obscure; because they are disguised abbreviations of other words, and, in some instances, are sunk so deeply, that they cannot be fathomed.

summary:
  Fig. 16, for example, is somewhat suggestive of a partially opened flower-bud, while other forms are found to bear a certain resemblance to shells or leaves or tree-shapes. Such forms remain as coherent erections for some considerable time--an hour or two at least; and during all that time they are radiating forth their characteristic vibrations in every direction, just as our thought-forms do; and if the music be good, the effect of those vibrations cannot but be uplifting to every man upon whose vehicles they play.

  The next evening, about dusk, Henry was wandering sadly and aimlessly about the streets when he met Madeline face to face. It is a pity, young man, he said, with a flash of enthusiasm, that you don't come to me twenty years later.

summary:
  We think of _redness_, _fragrance_, etc., not only in connection with the particular flower but as _general qualities_. We may picture a percept of any particular thing, but we cannot picture a general idea or concept because the latter does not partake of the _particular_ qualities of any of its class, but embraces all the general qualities of the class.

summary:
  In the feeling, however dim, that the facts which directly meet the senses are not the whole story, that there is more behind them and more to come from them, lies the germ of _intellectual_ curiosity. The meanings of _honesty_, _sympathy_, _hatred_, _fear_, must be grasped by having them presented in an individual's first-hand experience.

  But equally, of course, there is no question of _inference_ to other times. But as long as I judge, _value_ is indeterminate.

summary:
  Because the _content of judgment_ is continuous; judgment is always engaged with the determination of a related totality. That is to say, there is a region of _personal_ experience (mainly emotive or affectional) already recognized as a sphere of value.
