"hold in so much contempt, from Richelet Chambaud, or
even Boyer, would have proved more as to the fact [which
alone was in dispute] than the most ingenious arguments.
I believe the truth is that "immuable" is used
by the French for immutable - & that immobile means
both immoveable & motionless, & that there is no such
substantive in the French language as immuabilite,
but that immuable is the adjective, or, as you call it,
the concrete idea, & immuabilite, the substantive or
abstract idea, but I have no good Dictionary to refer
to, and very possibly am wrong. If I am right, I confess
it is an absurdity in the language, which the French will
have obligations to you if you correct.
Your's very faithfully
