WILLIAM OSMER. INNATE QUALITIES. MARCH OF ANIMAL INTELLECT. FARTHER
REVEALMENT OF THE COLUMBIAN PHILOSOPHY.
There is a word, and it is a great word in this Book,[1] _ἐπι το
αὐτο,_—_In id ipsum_, that is, to look to the thing itself, the very
point, the principal matter of all; to have our eye on that, and not
off it, upon _alia omnia_, any thing but it.—To go to the point, drive
all to that, as also to go to the matter real, without declining from
it this way or that, to the right hand or to the left.
BP. ANDREWS.
