Irish religion - when these locutions are brought
to view, correspondent to the difficulty of bringing
into union the things signified, was found the difficulty
of bringing into the like state these same
signs of them. British interests being one sort of
thing, Irish interests were found, or thought, or said
to be another and very different sort of thing : and
so in regard to affections, religion, and but too many
other subject matters of thought, action and discourse
that might be named.

Seeing the inaptitude of
these composite appellatives
JB gave Brithibernia,
which presents no such
idea of repugnance
as Brith. & Irish. The
signs of the things
signified being melted
into one, might
have served as a
cement.

Mindful of this inaptitude on the
part of the composite appellatives thus employed,
and not incapable of observing, in the womb of
the logical disorder it's political evil consequences,
Mr. Bentham sets his mind on the inquiry
after a remedy, and the appellative Brithibernia,
instead of British and Irish, being added, no such
idea as that of repugnance, and consequent contestation
which, by the locution British and Irish,
is so unhappily forced upon the mind, would have
been obtruded : for the keeping together the things
signified, the signs employed, when thus melted
into one, might have performed the office of a solder
or a cement: and of the which, in such
unhappy abundance, have been produced by collision,
the generation of a part more or less considerable,
might have been avoided.
