Excerpt from An Essay Concerning Human Understanding: With the Notes and Illus of the Author, and an Analysis of His Doctrine of Ideas, Also, Questions on Locke's EssayFor the understanding, like the eye, judging Of objects only by its own sight, cannot but be pleased with what it discovers, having less regret for what has escaped it, because it is unknown. Thus he who has raised himself above the alms-basket, and not content to live lazily on scraps of begged opinions, sets his own thoughts on work, to find and follow truth, will (whatever he lights on) not miss the hunter's satisfaction, every moment Of his pursuit will reward his pains with some delight, and he will have reason to think his time not ill spent, even when he cannot much boast of any great acquisition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
