Even when the perfon who feels any ofthofe Senfations, and confequently the organ bywhich he feels them, changes his fituation, we ne-ver, even in this cafe, fay, that the Senfation mo-ves, or is moved.

We never fay that any thing doesnot change its fituation with regard to other things,unlefe we fuppofe it capable of changing thatfituation.

A fkilful perfumer may, per-haps, fometimes be abl« to do the fame thing
