I. WTiai is Imagination in the sense now needed? — When one makes the likeness of a present thing, it is imitation ; when of an absent thing, it is representation ; and if in either case the likeness is determinable by the senses, it will be a /««iry-sketch only ; but if the likeness be determinable only by the correct connection of properties to the thing, or of changes in the thing, then the work is that of thinking in judgments, and belongs not to the sense, but to the logical understanding.... It is then properly a work of Imagination and not of Fancy. Thus far, however, it is of the reproductive imagination, and would be in the same field, and only doing the same work, with which we 112 EMPIRICAL PSYCHOLOGY. have thus far been busied in all our outlines of logical cate- gories. But when we attempt to give some new conception of con- nected properties, or a theory for the universal connection in experience of things and their properties, and events with their changes, we thereby propose a problematic mode of connect- ing in judgments and categories which is purely imaginary until verified by testing experiments ; and all such presented con- ceptions are products which stand alone in the productizie imagination so long as destitute of confirmation by accurate scientific experiment.
