Note 17 — Chapter II
Reading edition
The age here mentioned closely corresponds with that which is given by M. Perez, who says:—“At seven months he compares better than at three; and he appears at this age to have visual perceptions associated with ideas of kind: for instance, he connects the different flavours of a piece of bread, of a cake, of fruit, with their different forms and colours” (First Three Years of Childhood, English trans., p. 31).
