1. Mixed modes stand for abstract ideas, as other general names.
The names of mixed modes, being general, they
stand, as has been shewed, for sorts or species of things, each of which has its peculiar essence. The essences of
these species also, as has been shewed, are nothing but the abstract ideas in the mind, to which the name is
annexed. Thus far the names and essences of mixed modes have nothing but what is common to them with other
ideas: but if we take a little nearer survey of them, we shall find that they have something peculiar, which perhaps
may deserve our attention.
