The like variety have we in sounds. Sounds also, besides the distinct cries of birds and beasts, are modified by diversity of notes of different length put together, which make that complex idea called a tune, which a musician may have in his mind when he hears or makes no sound at all, by reflecting on the ideas of those sounds, so put together silently in his own fancy. Modes of colours. Modes of tastes. All compounded tastes and smells are also modes, made up of the simple ideas of those senses.
Some simple modes have no names.
In general it may be observed, that those simple modes which are considered but as different degrees of the same simple idea, though they are in themselves many of them very distinct ideas, yet have ordinarily no distinct names, nor are much taken notice of, as distinct ideas, where the difference is but very small between them. Why some modes have, and others have not, names. Which ideas are not generally framed in the minds of men not conversant about these operations. This we shall have occasion hereafter to consider more at large, when we come to speak of words.
