Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
What real alteration can the beating of the pestle make in an body, but an alteration of the texture of it?
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Autre experience qui confirme viſiblement que les ſecondes qualitez ne ſont point dans les Objets mêmes qui en produiſent les idées en nous. Prenez une amande, & la pilez dans un mortier : ſa couleur nette & blanche ſera auſſi-tôt changée en une couleur plus chargée & plus obſcure, & le goût de douceur qu’elle avoit, ſera changé en un goût fade & huileux. Or en froiſſant un Corps avec le pilon, quel autre changement réel peut-on y produire que celui de la contexture de ſes parties ?
