But modern usage applies sensus to concepts of the
mind, while sentcntia is applied to striking reflexions
such as are more especially introduced at the close
of our periods, a practice rare in earlier days, but
carried even to excess in our own. Accordingly, I
think that I ought to say something of the various
forms which such reflexions may tale and the manner
in which they should be used.
