Such is the law of the continuity of all change, the ground of which is that neither time itself nor any phenomenon in time consists of parts which are the smallest possible, but that, notwithstanding, the state of a thing passes in the process of a change through all these parts, as elements, to its second state.

 All determination in regard to time presupposes the existence of something permanent in perception. Possession during a long tract of time conveys a title to any object. 
  • For this reason, every transition in perception to anything which follows upon another in time, is a determination of time by means of the production of this perception.
 I find in the first place, that whatever objects are considered as causes or effects, are contiguous; and that nothing can operate in a time or place, which is ever so little removed from those of its existence. I have already observed, in a cursory manner, the fallacy of this opinion, and shall here continue to open up a little more distinctly my sentiments on that subject. On the other hand, the incompatibility of the parts of time in their real existence separates them in the imagination, and makes it more difficult for that faculty to trace any long succession or series of events. For there is only one time in which all different times must be placed, not as coexistent, but as successive.
