Springs of Action Table Introd

11

This being the case, if so it happens as it most
commonly does that the word thus undertaken to be
defined is the name not of a class of real but of a class of fictitious
entity — what commonly happens is that the word
not having belonging to it that sort of relation which is the principal object
of interest , a word significant of a
superior i.e. more extensive and continuing genus, the thing thus
undertaken to be done belongs to the category of impossibles.
What he gives for the name of a superior
genus coupled with the name of a words designative of some differential character
is at best no more than a synonym by
which no allum or information is given, and which itself
stands as much need of exposition as the word
in for the exposition of which it is employed.

23
When the word is
the name of a fictitious
entity, frequently
it has no
superior genus. a
then that mode of
exposition is inapplicable.

24
In that case, the
ordinary recourse
is at best a synonym, by
which no information
is conveyed —
no dispute decided

With the exception of One case, and that a case not very frequently exemplified
excepted this untoward circumstance is about
to have place as often as the word thus undertaken
to be defined is the name of a fictitious entity.
Instances, or time, are not altogether wanting in
which for this or that name of a species of fictitious entities
the name of a superior genus in which that species
is included may be found: thus taken in a certain sense privilege and
exemption as well as privilege have both of them for their its the name of its superior genus
right the word right.

25
Considitur names
of fictitious entities
which have superior
genera are not
absolutely without
example

26
Witness privilege
and exemption —
immediate superior
genus right.
