     		<Secondly> {Thirdly}.  An idea of truth is conveyed by the statement of one attribute
     of an object.
     but an idea of imitation only by the <imitation> {resemblance} of as many attributes as
     the senses
     are ^ {usually} cognizant of in its real presence.      <If a>A pencil outline of the bough
     of a
     tree on white paper .  is a statement of a certain number of facts of form .  It is
 5   not an imitation of anything  .  The idea of that form is not given in nature
     		by lines at all - still less by black lines with white spaces between them -  There
     		is nothing in nature which in the remotist degree resembles what we have
     		laid on the paper - any more than it would resemble the letters of <a> words
     		descriptive of such a form.  But the lines convey to the mind a distinct impression
10   of a certain number of facts . which it recognizes as agreeable with its previous
     		impressions of the bough of a tree . and it receives therefore an idea of truth .
     		If instead of two lines . we <hav> give a dark form of a bough with the
     		brush.  we convey {an} idea<s> of a certain relation of shade between the bough
     		& sky - which is recognized for another idea of truth - But there is still no
15   imitation - for the white paper is not the least like air - nor the black
     		shadow like wood.  It is not until after a certain number of ideas of truth
     		have been collected together . that we arrive at an idea of imitation  .
     		It might thus appear at first sight - that an idea of imitation - inasmuch as
     		<man> {several} ideas of truth are united in it . was nobler than a simple idea of truth .
20   <And if the pleasure which we received from an idea of imitation consisted in>
