These highest aims must, from the nature of reason, possess complete unity; otherwise the highest interest of humanity could not be successfully promoted.

 Where the objects themselves do not affect us, their connexion can never give them any influence; and it is plain, that as reason is nothing but the discovery of this connexion, it cannot be by its means that the objects are able to affect us. With this purpose, we reason from an actual existence--an experience in general, to an absolutely necessary condition of that existence. In general, the following reasoning seems satisfactory. The image in the mind is only that of a particular object, though the application of it in our reasoning be the same, as if it were universal. This is not a contradiction, but an exception to the rule; and an exception that arises from the same reason with the rule itself. 

On the contrary, reason, in its uninterrupted progress in the empirical synthesis, is necessarily conducted to them, when it endeavours to free from all conditions and to comprehend in its unconditioned totality that which can only be determined conditionally in accordance with the laws of experience.

 All knowledge, regarding an object of mere reason, can be communicated; and I should thus be enabled to hope that my own knowledge would receive this wonderful extension, through the instrumentality of his instruction.
