In the ascase of Algebra at , it will be found

In the case of Algebra in the branch of Mathematics
Algebra two sorts of operation in themselves perfectly
distinct may be distinguished: viz. 1. the system of abbreviation the mode of designation
and the system of contrivance for the purpose of performing<add>principle</add>or expression, and the contrivance or species
the search particular operations, for the facilitation of which the system same of investigation employed in the resolutionanswering of questions of problems, system of abbreviation
is through out employed
Of Between them these two the relation is that of between the means and to the end
the mode of expression the means, the resolution of problems
the ends: of problem in the case of algebra of such problems
and took only as have no direct immediate relation to figures
in which figure or not as such taken in this account.

As to the mode of designation the object which 5 or 2

This peculiar mode
of designation
it has in view the advantage which in comparison of
common arithmetic it affords may be expressed in one
word abbreviation: space or room, labour and time all
these pretious valuable objects are saved by it. It is a sort particular
species of short hand: differing only from the sort
commonly designated by that name it differs in two
particulars. 1. In its application it is confined to that sort of discourse
which his quantity for its subject. 2. within it field
of action the degree of power which it exercises its powers are much greater than any that
is exercised by that sort. All that short hand does
is then employed for the giving expression to each word,
starters in less numbers or more easily and quickly
described than those which are employed in ordinary
hand: the mode pursued in writing before the invention of printing before the invention
of printing, and in printing itself for some time
afterwards the mode of in a word the system of contractions
was a species of short hand.
