HARTLEY. 602 HABTMANN. also in the first origin of voluntary power, which he truly regards as essentially an acquired power. He then treat;? of the commonly recognized in- tellectual faculties, memory, imagination, reason, etc. Lastly, the emotions, which he classilies under si.x heads, imaginative emotions, ambition, self-interest, sympathy, theopathj' (the religious sentiment), and the moral sense, may, according to him, be readily' seen to be the products of association of certain elementary feelings that unite among themselves, and pass into new con- nections, and give birth to complex feelings, under the general law. Many of those explana- tions would be considered now as faulty or de- tective; but at the time Hartley's attempt was a great step in advance. In logic he seems to have been the forerunner of the algebraical theory of that science. In addition to the work men- tioned above.

An English politician. He studied at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and afterwards entered politics as a Liberal. Among his friends was Benjamin Franklin, whom he met during Franklin's stay in London, and with whom after his departure began a corresjiondence which continued through the years of the Revolution. He strongly op- posed the policy of Lord North's Ministry in forcing a war with America, and labored to ef- fect an exchange of prisoners, believing that any amelioration of hardships or acts of generosity would tend to lessen the bitter feelings of the combatants. He was a zealous supporter of Rock- ingham ; and this, together with his friendship for Franklin, probably led to his selection as Plenipotentiar.v to sign the treat v of peace with the United States (Paris, September 3, 1783). His writings were nearly all of a political char- acter, such as: "Two Letters from David Hartley, Esq., M.P.," in Tracts Concerning County Peti- tions (1780) ; and An Address to the Committee of Association of the County of York (1781).
