The following Treatise presents the sum of a course of Lectures,
which, for six or eight years past, I have been in the habit of
delivering to successive classes, on the subject of Intellectual
Philosophy. One thing I may say in relation to this subject,
without boasting. No class have yet passed through this course,
without becoming deeply interested in the science of Mental
Philosophy; and, in their judgment, receiving great benefit from
the truths developed, as well as from the method of development
which was adopted. Hence the desire has been very generally
expressed by those who have attended the course of instruction, as
well as by others who have become acquainted with the general
features of the system taught, to have it presented to the public
in a form adapted to popular reading. In conformity to such
suggestions, as well as to the permanent convictions of my own
mind, the following Treatise has been prepared. In preparing it, it
has been my aim to reject light from no source whatever from which
it could be obtained, and at the same time to maintain the real
prerogative of manly independence of thought. Since the publication
of the first edition of this work, the author has had the benefit
resulting from successive years in teaching the same, and of a
careful reading of other works upon the same subject. In this
manner, he has been enabled to perceive defects that needed
correction in the work, as first presented. The work is now given
to the public, as the result of his mature reflections upon this
fundamental science. ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was America's foremost
Christian educator, reformer, philosopher, and pastor. He was
founding president of two colleges and oneuniversity, where he was
able to inspire numerous reforms, publish authoritative
philosophical texts, and promote powerful revivals like his close
associate Charles Finney. He led the way on all important fronts
while being severely persecuted. He introduced the new curriculum
later adopted by Harvard, was the first to instruct and grant
liberal college degrees to white and colored women, advised Lincoln
during the Civil War, and among many other remarkable achievements,
was a father to the early evangelical and holiness movements.
