People little aware
of importance of nomenclature
in planting
or disseminating ideas.

Little aware are people in general of what importance
the business of nomenclature (nomenclature an instrument
in the hand of Logic) in the plantation of new
ideas and dissemination of already-rooted ones: how expressive serious
and indisputable the importance of it may be in practice:
how considerable the benefit capable of flowing sometimes flowing
from the possession of an apt appellation; how considerable the
inconvenience, the evil capable of growing out of the want
of it.

J. B. more successful
husbandman in this
way than Roman Emperor
— See international
codification & conjugates.

In this species of husbandry Mr Bentham has, already
in his life time, worked laboured with a success which the power of the Roman
Emperor II found itself insufficient to command. Witness
the adjective international and the substantive codification with its conjugates codify
and codifices: to which upon occasion might be added
codificationists. In the business of human life how many
what is the number which the most diligent search could
present of those which are of more or importance
than that of codification? but this same operation
how can it be performed, or so much as attempted, without
being talked spoken of? and how can it be spoken of without a
name to speak of it by?

Note

II To J. B. and T. P. T. insert the Emperor (Augustine?) in and
the word which he could not get to grow.
