الصفحة 125 - He now described what he saw as a number of opaque watery spheres, which moved with the movements of the eye, but, when the eye was at rest, remained stationary, and then partially covered each other.
الصفحة 132 - The human face pleased him more than any other object presented to his view; the eyes he thought most beautiful, especially when in motion ; the nose disagreeable, on account of its form and great prominence; the movement of the lower jaw in eating he considered very ugly.

A psychological deduction, or a preliminary criticism of the logical forms themselves, might have considerably reduced the number.
الصفحة 132 - Even when he had seen an object repeatedly he could form no idea of its visible qualities without having the real object before him. Heretofore when he dreamed of any persons, of his parents, for instance, he felt them and heard their voices, but never saw them ; but now, after having seen them frequently, he saw them also in his dreams. The human face pleased him more than any other object.
الصفحة 336 - ... the representations which they cause in us by affecting our senses.

الصفحة 129 - A pyramid placed before him with one of its sides towards his eye he saw as a plane triangle. This object was now turned a little, so as to present two of its sides to view, but rather more of one side than of the other.
