Take Reid's definition of Mind, as the most comprehensive which I can at the moment remember: 'By the mind of a man we understand that in him which thinks, remembers, reasons, and wills.
The idea of time, being derived from the succession of our perceptions of every kind, ideas as well as impressions, and impressions of reflection as well as of sensations will afford us an instance of an abstract idea, which comprehends a still greater variety than that of space, and yet is represented in the fancy by some particular individual idea of a determinate quantity and quality.
But fail not, above all, to bring the one who comprehends the whole; whose name is to be found in every school-boy book, written in living letters words that breathe; to whom the hearts of multitudes were as one most simple instrument, which he could tune and tone unto his pleasure.
