Document Summary
These faculties may mimic or copy the perceptions of the sense but they never can entirely reach the force and vivacity of the original sentiment. They never can arrive at such a pitch of vivacity as to render these perceptions altogether undistinguishable. The most lively thought is still inferior to the dullest sensation. A man in a fit of anger is actuated in a very different manner from one who only thinks of that emotion. I easily understand your meaning and from a just conception of his situation but never can mistake that conception for the real disorders and agitations of the passion. Divide all the perceptions of the mind into two classes or species. The less forcible and lively are common denominated thoughts or ideas the other species want a name in our language rank them under a general term or appellation call them impressions.
