IV, 232b. Charles Bonnet was a Genevese philosopher of the eighteenth century. Antonio Eximeno (1729-1808), a priest, takes a Lockeian approach within a scholastic style, presumably purging the doctrines of Locke and Condillac of theologically objectionable notions. I believe this to be the meaning of Jovellanos' comment on him.
