Antiquity of Smoking (Vol. iii., p. 484.).

Principle of Association (Vol. iii., p. 424.).
—I cannot but doubt whether "La partie réelle de la métaphysique" means "all that has yet been done in the philosophy of the human mind." I apprehend it means the material, or physical part; that which is connected with the structure of the body. This would apply to Hartley, though not to Mr. Gay: but I speak in the dark, for I have not that edition of La Place which your correspondent refers to.

Corpse makes a Right of Way (Vol. iii., p. 477.).
