WILL, n. [See the Verb.]

In other words, we reason with respect to the value or importance of things; we then judge which is to be preferred; and we will to take the most valuable.  These are but different operations of the mind, soul, or intellectual part of man. Great disputes have existed respecting the freedom of the will.  Will is often quite a different thing from desire.
