judges of sense-representations, combining and dividing them. Under
the form of images, she also considers the conceptions received from

sensation. Finally, she still is the power of understanding, since
she distinguishes the new images from the old, and harmonizes them by
comparing them; whence, indeed, our reminiscences are derived.
