8.
[1913 Webster]
The power of perception is that which we call the
understanding. Perception, which we make the act of
the understanding, is of three sorts: 1. The
perception of ideas in our mind; 2. The perception
of the signification of signs; 3. The perception of
the connection or repugnancy, agreement or
disagreement, that there is between any of our
ideas. All these are attributed to the
understanding, or perceptive power, though it be the
two latter only that use allows us to say we
understand. --Locke.
[1913 Webster]
In its wider acceptation, understanding is the
entire power of perceiving an conceiving, exclusive
of the sensibility: the power of dealing with the
impressions of sense, and composing them into
wholes, according to a law of unity; and in its most
comprehensive meaning it includes even simple
apprehension. --Coleridge.
[1913 Webster]
4. Specifically, the discursive faculty; the faculty of
knowing by the medium or use of general conceptions or
relations. In this sense it is contrasted with, and
distinguished from, the reason.
[1913 Webster]
I use the term understanding, not for the noetic
faculty, intellect proper, or place of principles,
but for the dianoetic or discursive faculty in its
widest signification, for the faculty of relations
or comparisons; and thus in the meaning in which
"verstand" is now employed by the Germans. --Sir W.
Hamilton.
[1913 Webster]

That all things which he'd felt, heard, seen,
He could interpret without fail
If he was in or out of jail.

Performed the service to compile 'em.
So great a writer, all men swore,
They never had not read before.
