Tljd Conclujion. 2 1 1 



difpofed in different Parts about us, and indued 

 with different Degrees of Senfibility, occafion 

 all our Senfations and Perceptions. But the 

 Senfations of the Nerves of the Eye are in 

 ourfelves fo different from thole of the 

 Nerves of the Ear, that if either of thefe 

 Organs be wanting, the Ideas commonly 

 taken in thereby cannot be fupplied or made 

 intelligible. 



Therefore, as we are tauglu by Experi- 

 ence, that 'tis hardly pollible to give a blind 

 Man any jufl: Ideas of a feeing Man's Senfe 

 of Colours, or a deaf Man of a hearing 

 Man's Perception of Sounds, though they 

 are Creatures of the fame common Nature 

 and in every thing elfe alike, would it be 

 more ftrange if we fhould be as little capa- 

 ble of underftanding or judging of the Sen- 

 fations and Perceptions of Animals in many 

 Refpefts different from Mankind ? 



May there not be more Modes of Feeling 

 than thofe five we call the Senfes, which are 

 bellowed on us for our Information of what 

 paflcs near us, and by pleafing or difagreeable 

 Senfations warn us of what is profitable or 

 prejudicial to us, and confequently what to 

 chufe, and what avoid? May not other 

 Creatures, whofe Strufture, Organs and 

 Way of Hving bear no Refemblance to 

 ours, (as Body may adl on Body in various 

 Manners) have Senfations alfo different from 

 P 2 ours.
