1. Not in Sensation.

Sensation is neither an act, nor the knowledge of an act, but an involuntary experience consequent on personal relation to a sensitive organism, and to objects capable of making impressions on that organism.

2. Not in Perception.

Perception being a simple recognition of fact, can include only such facts as are capable of being known by simple observation, that is, without comparison a.nd inference.

3. Not in Judgment.

The knowledge of an action as fact is one thing, the knowledge of that action as right or wrong is another thing. The former involves simple perception, the latter is attained only by comparison.
