Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Henry Fielding Esq., Vol. 7 of 10: Edited With a Biographical Essay One may observe, ' says Mr. Locke, 'in all languages, certain words, that, if they be examined, will be found, in their first original, and their appropriated use, not to stand for any clear and distinct ideas.' Mr. Locke gives us the instances of wisdom, glory, grace. 'words which 'are frequent enough (says he) in every man's mouth; but if a great many of those who use them should be asked what they mean by them, they would be at a stand, and not know what to answer; a plain proof, that though they have learned those sounds, and have them ready at their tongue's end, yet there are no deter 'mined ideas laid up in their minds, which are to be expressed to others by them.'
