It is certain a man of solid sense and long experience ought to have, and usually has, a greater assurance in his opinions, than one that is foolish and ignorant, and that our sentiments have different degrees of authority, even with ourselves, in proportion to the degrees of our reason and experience. That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. There is no single phaenomenon, even the most simple, which can be accounted for from the qualities of the objects, as they appear to us; or which we coued foresee without the help of our memory and experience. Experience is a principle, which instructs me in the several conjunctions of objects for the past. This principle we derive from experience, and is the source of most of our philosophical reasonings. But, in regard to objects of experience, that is absolutely necessary without which the experience of these objects would itself be impossible.
