This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ... is called a quality. Men are things, their mortality is a quality. A quality cannot exist alone by itself; a thing can exist or be thought of by itself. Qualities, however, are always found in things; and things cannot exist without qualities. Along with the more permanent qualities in things, there go other facts that are more transient.

The differences among the three may be best understood by examples taken from our own personal experience. I am a thing: i. e., I am complex, separate from other things, enduring. I have certain qualities: e. g., I am mortal, two-legged, of American birth. These facts are comparatively permanent. But certain facts in my case are not permanent.

Again, there are other transient facts, such as that I am near a table, above the sea-level by so many feet, stronger or weaker than some fellow-being, and thus related to other things.
