To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In so far, therefore, as they suppose the Primary, which are necessary, while they themselves are only accidental, they ex- hibit, on the one side, what may be called a quasi-Primary qual- ity ; and, m this respect they are to be recognized as percepts, not sensations, as objective affections of things, and not as sub- jective affections of us. But, on the other side, tliis objective element is always found accompanied by a Secondary quality or sensorial passion. The Secundo-primary qualities h...ave thus al- ways two phases, both immediately apprehended. On their Primary or objective phasis, they manifest themselves as degrees of resistance opposed to our locomotive energy ; on their Second- ary or subjective phasis, as modes of resistance or pressure af- fecting our sentient organism. Thus standing between, and, in a certain sort, made up of, the two classes of Primary and Sec- ondary qualities, to neither of which, however, can they be re- duced ; this their partly common, partly peculiar nature, vindi- cates to them the dignity of a class apart from both the others, and this under the appropriate appellation of the Secundo-pri- mary qualities.
