Quote from ‘Letters to Lady Welby’

Quote: 

…Signs, in respect to their Modes of possible Presentation, are divisible […] into
[—]
C. Famisigns, familiar signs, which must be General, as General signs must be familiar or composed of Familiar signs. [I speak of signs which are “general,” not in the sense of signifying Generals, but as being themselves general; just as Charlemagne is general, in that it occurs many times with one and the same denotation.]
