It means, accordingly, Power afthe soul, or of the intelligent principle of life. I have also substituted the verb to dunamise in lieu of to magnetize or mesrruwize i dunamiser for magnetizc?', &c. &c. : dropping the first radical, "psyco," by way of abbreviation.

Hare Townshenu, &c.;) Neurology, (Dr. Buchanan j) Patlwtism, (ReI" Laroy Sunderhmu;) Etherology, (Professor Grimos, &c.) But
