But it is evident, that whenever we infer the continued existence of the objects of sense from their coherence, and the frequency of their union, it is in order to bestow on the objects a greater regularity than what is observed in our mere perceptions. For if the objects of our senses continue to exist, even when they are not perceived, their existence is of course independent of and distinct from the perception: and vice versa, if their existence be independent of the perception and distinct from it, they must continue to exist, even though they be not perceived. It is therefore by EXPERIENCE only, that we can infer the existence of one object from that of another. - It will first be proper to observe a few of those experiments, which convince us, that our perceptions are not possest of any independent existence.
