Page 3, note, col. 2, line 11. — The art of healing is not posterior to the science, but, after the discovery of the art, the science was investigated. — Celsus.

P. 7, n. 1, 1. 9. — Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Poetry, Music, and their several divisions, constitute the third general class that has its source in imagination, and the parts of which are comprehended under the name of Fine Arts. They may be all referred to Poetry, if we take the term in its natural acceptation, which is simply invention or creation. — D'Alembert.

P. 7, n. 2, 1. 6. — If we have not placed, with Bacon, Reason after Imagination, it is because we have followed, in the encyclopædical arrangement, the metaphysical order of the operations of the mind, in preference to their historical development since the revival of letters. — D'Alembert.

P. 8, n. 1, 1. 5. — To imagine is simply to contemplate the form or image of a corporeal thing. — Descartes.

P. 9, n., c. 1, 1. 4. — Bacon, however, has on some points been justly censured. ... It has been remarked that his classification of the sciences rests on a distinction far from rigorous, since Memory, Reason, and Imagination necessarily concur in every art, as well as in every science. It may, however, be urged in reply, that one or other of these three faculties may yet play the principal part, the others acting in subordination to it. Taking the distinction of Bacon in this sense, the accuracy of his classification remains unquestionable, and its great utility becomes apparent. — Degerando.
