The different sensations originate from the great variety of motion, and the various faculties of the mind depend entirely upon the manner sensa. ion acts upon the brain. As a proof that motion, sensation, and thought are as various as the causes which act upon the animal, we never yet found two animals whose organization was exactly alike, nor did we ever see two animals whose motions corresponded in every particular; nor was there ever two minds that thought alike on all subjects; in fact, we never saw two portions of any kind of matter resemble each otheria every particular, and it never will be the case as long as there is a continued change of figure in matter.
