They seem conjoined, but never connected. And as we can have no idea of anything which never appeared to our outward sense or inward sentiment, the necessary conclusion seems to be, that we have no idea of connexion or power at all ; and that these words are absolutely without any meaning, when employed either in philosophical reasonings or common life. " Hume's Essays, vol. Ii. P. 79. Ed. Of Lond. 1784.
