This is the notion which all mankind have of hardness and softness : they are neither sensations, nor like any sensation ; they were real qualities before they were perceived by touch, and continue to be so when they are not perceived : for if any man will affirm, that diamonds were not hard till they were handled, who would reason with him ?
