The mind is nothing but a 'series of feelings'; and to say that 'I am conscious of feeling' is simply to say 'I feel. The same phrase often occurs in James Mill. Dissertations, p. 98. Froude's Carlyle, p. 25. Miscellanies , ii. 104. See, too, Miscellanies, i. 60, on German Literature, where he thinks that the Germans attacked the centre instead of the outworks of Hume's citadel.
On meeting the countess I had been struck with her yellow skin and the feverish brilliancy of her eyes. I led the count towards the house while seeming to listen to his complaints and his medical dissertations; but my thoughts were all with Henriette, and I wanted to observe her.
