either be derived from a distinct impression, con- joined with every perception or object of our thought, or must be the very same with the idea of the perception or object " (ibid. ). That there was no distinct impression from which it could be derived he considered obvious, and accordingly he concluded that " to reflect on anything simply, and to reflect on it as existent, are nothing different from each other " that " any idea we please to form is the idea of a being, and the idea of a being... is any idea we please to form" in fine, that " the idea of existence is the very same with the idea of what we conceive to be existent " (i. 96). By the same reasoning he came to the conclusion that exter- nal existence was nothing but a mere idea (i. 97). "Let us fix our attention out of ourselves as much as possible, " he said "let us chase our imagina- tion to the heavens, or to the utmost limits of the universe; we never really advance a step beyond ourselves " (ibid. ). The consequence of principles such as these was obvious.
