Viˊsion
Viˊsion [F.
visione (It. and Sp.)
of
visio (Latin)] is
a sensation in the brain, which proceeds from a due and various motion of the
optick nerves, produced in the bottom of the eye, by the rays of light coming
from any object, by which means the soul perceives the enlighten’d thing,
together with its quantity, quality, figure,
&c.
