Mind

(mind.) (From A. S. gemynd.] (Philos.) The intellectual power in man. "When the mind," says Locke, " turns its view inwards upon itself, thinking is the first idea that occurs; wherein it observes a great variety of modifications, whence it frames to itself distinct ideas. Thus, the perception annexed to any impre ion on the body by an external object is called sensation; when an idea recurs without the presence of the object, it is called remembrance; when sought after by the mind, and again brought into view, it is recollection; when the ideas are taken notice of, and, as it were, registered in the memory, it is attention; when the mind fixes its view on any one idea, and considers it on all sides, it is called study."
