CHAPTER XI.
ILLUSIONS OF BELIEF.
Our knowledge is commonly said to consist of two large varieties--Presentative and Representative.

Representative knowledge, again, falls into two chief divisions.

The first of these is Memory, which, though not primary or original, like presentative knowledge, is still regarded as directly or intuitively certain.

The second division consists of all other representative knowledge besides memory, including, among other varieties, our anticipations of the future, our knowledge of others' past experience, and our general knowledge about things.

There is no one term which exactly hits off this large sphere of cognition: I propose to call it Belief.
