Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text

COMPLEX IDEAS, however compounded and decompounded, though their number be infinite, and the variety endless, wherewith they fill and entertain the thoughts of men; yet I think they may be all reduced under these three heads: - 1. MODES. 2. SUBSTANCES. 3. RELATIONS.

French

Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition

De quelque maniére que les Idées complexes ſoient compoſées & diviſées, quoi que le nombre en ſoit infini, & qu’elles occupent les penſées des hommes avec une diverſité ſans bornes, elles peuvent pourtant être réduites à ces trois chefs :

1. Les Modes : 2. Les Subſtances : 3. Les Rélations.
