 1 Pre, Int,  10  |         said of all other abstract general ideas whatsoever. To be
 2 Pre, Int,  10  |   separated; or that I can frame a general notion, by abstracting from
 3 Pre, Int,  11  |          think the having abstract general ideas is what puts the widest
 4 Pre, Int,  11  |          and beast. "The having of general ideas," saith he, "is that
 5 Pre, Int,  11  |           in them of making use of general signs for universal ideas;
 6 Pre, Int,  11  |          of abstracting, or making general ideas, since they have no
 7 Pre, Int,  11  |          use of words or any other general signs." And a little after: "
 8 Pre, Int,  11  |         think brutes have abstract general ideas is, that we observe
 9 Pre, Int,  11  |          use of words or any other general signs; which is built on
10 Pre, Int,  11  |           words implies the having general ideas. From which it follows
11 Pre, Int,  11  |        particulars, how come we by general terms?" His answer is: "
12 Pre, Int,  11  |           answer is: "Words become general by being made the signs
13 Pre, Int,  11  |            being made the signs of general ideas."  - Essay on Human
14 Pre, Int,  11  |          seems that a word becomes general by being made the sign,

16 Pre, Int,  11  |            motion and extension in general; and nevertheless it will
17 Pre, Int,  11  |          must conceive an abstract general idea of extension, which
18 Pre, Int,  12  |         observing how ideas become general we may the better judge
19 Pre, Int,  12  |          deny absolutely there are general ideas, but only that there
20 Pre, Int,  12  |        that there are any abstract general ideas; for, in the passages
21 Pre, Int,  12  |        wherein there is mention of general ideas, it is always supposed
22 Pre, Int,  12  |             is particular, becomes general by being made to represent
23 Pre, Int,  12  |        regard to its signification general, since, as it is there used,

25 Pre, Int,  12  |            particular line becomes general by being made a sign, so
26 Pre, Int,  12  |            by being a sign is made general. And as the former owes
27 Pre, Int,  12  |         the sign of an abstract or general line, but of all particular
