lY. Rational intuition is necessary to interpret sense-perception. Sensation reports correctly the peculiar impression of outward agents ou each sense. But it is only by judgment in accordance with the prin- ciples of reason that we apprehend the reality signified by the impres- sion on the sensorium. The senses show us the sky as a blue dome, the sun, moon and stars as moving in it, parallel rails converging as they recede ; and always we resort to reason to interpret these presentations of se...nse and ascertain what the reality is which they bring before us. The ear gives us soimd, the eye light and shade, the general sensorium heat ; but it is thought, regulated by the principles of reason, which dis- closes the undulations which impinge on the ear and cause sound, and the molecular vibrations which cause light and heat. And it is thought, guided by the principles of reason, which carries knowledge to distances of space and time entirely beyond the observation of sense, and discovers that the facts known by sense are in the unity of a rational system.
