It becomes a matter of judgment. If there are several sensations which are alike, we infer that it is the same quality which produced them all. This is perception, or apprehension. Following up this branch of psychic phe- nomena, it leads us to true intellectual operations. Perceptions form the basis of mental judgments, and these constitute ideas and opinions. Hence the primary * See Baeon, " Novum Organum," lib. i, aph. xlvi. SOURCES OP ERROR. 425 cause of every opinion is the experience of t...he senses. That experience consists of the circumstances by which the indi- vidual is surrounded, and which are incessantly appealing to his senses, giving him new perceptions, revealing to him the varied qualities existing in objects, and thus developing his intellectual faculties. Circumstances are therefore as much the cause of opinion as they are of mountains, rivers, or storms, and the opinions obey laws as definite and necessary as those which such physical objects obey. Were these laws as well understood, their results could be calculated with as much accuracy as can the motions of the heavenly bodies.
