CHAPTER III.
OF SIMPLE IDEAS OF SENSE.
1.

Division of simple ideas.
The better to conceive the ideas we receive from sensation, it may not be amiss for us to consider them, in reference to the different ways whereby they make their approaches to our minds, and make themselves perceivable by us.
FIRST, then, There are some which come into our minds BY ONE SENSE ONLY.
SECONDLY, There are others that convey themselves into the mind BY MORE SENSES THAN ONE.
THIRDLY, Others that are had from REFLECTION ONLY.
FOURTHLY, There are some that make themselves way, and are suggested to the mind BY ALL THE WAYS OF SENSATION AND REFLECTION.
We shall consider them apart under these several heads.
Ideas of one Sense.
There are some ideas which have admittance only through one sense, which is peculiarly adapted to receive them.

Thus light and colours, as white, red, yellow, blue; with their several degrees or shades and mixtures, as green, scarlet, purple, sea-green, and the rest, come in only by the eyes.

All kinds of noises, sounds, and tones, only by the ears.

The several tastes and smells, by the nose and palate.
