The abuse which I call attention to, is promiscuous

and unannounced mental practice where there is no neces- [1]

sity for it, or the motive is mercenary, or one can to ad-

vantage speak the truth audibly; then the case is not

exceptional. As a rule, one has no more right to enter

the mind of a person, stir, upset, and adjust his thoughts [5]

without his knowledge or consent, than one has to enter

a house, unlock the desk, displace the furniture, and suit

one's self in the arrangement and management of another

man's property.
