Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Mark Akenside, Vol. 2: With the Life of the Author There are certain powers in human nature which seem to hold a middle place between the or gans of bodily sense and the faculties of moral per ception they have been called by a very general name, The Powers of Imagination. Like the ex ternal senses they relate to matter and motion, and 'at the same time give the mind ideas analogous to those of moral approbation and dislike. As they are. The inlets of some of the most exquisite Pleasures with which we are acquainted, it Manually hap pened that men of warm and sensible tempers have sought means to recal the delightfulperceptions which they afl'ord, independent of the objects which origin ally produced them. This gave rise to the imitative or_ designing arts; some of which, as painting and sculpture, directly copy the external appearances which were admired in nature; others, as music and poetry, bring them back to remembrance by signs universally established and understood.
