I wish to investigate the nature of a simple [wraph]
Such a concept first arises as predicated of some
object (occasion of experience)
S is M
On the ground of some previous representation
of the object. (Not immediate)
The predication of the concept is virtually contained
in the previous representation

To say that a simple concept is the immediate
apprehension of a quality is [that] a mode of
saying that its meaning is given in the repre-
sentation which gives rise to it [inasmuch] as it
[is] as much [is] to say that that quality is contained
in the representation.
