Chrest Tab 11 Part
Key

If abbreviation is were the only one of the functions here
distinguished by the appellation of found abbreviative it would followfollows that in the performanceexercise of
the efficient function every thing that which at present is 10
Whatsoever is expressed
by abbreviate
language may be
expressed by do at
length
not only customarily but exclusively expressed by the
exercise of the abbreviative function, is capable of being may be expressed
without it - may be expressed in a word in ordinary
language. To any such purpose as the practice of the art what is plain
enough it is that by no such substitution could any advantage
be gained: on the contrary it would by the
amount of the whole of its effect be productive disadvantageous. 11
The advantage would
be the same here as in
Geometry: substituted
if signs expressive of
general ideas to do
expression of nothing
but individual do
distinction is the only purpose to which it could be
made irrevocable: but that to this purpose it might
be rendered in a very high degree eminently ciable seems sufficiently
evident.

In this case the same substitution of signs immediately expressive of general ideas
to signs individual ones immediately expressive of none but individual ones to particulars would be the result or has been already
known to be the result in the case of geometry has already
been known to be the result: and, in respect of intellation and command of the subject that result attended
with the same advantage

12
Thus, for ,
the labours of
the use of the signs
would be saved

In this case the whole method of the act might be
explained and taught - the whole secrets ot the act laid
open. In the means to an intelligent mind
without its his be being subjected to any part of that
hard labour which independently must so unavoidably
be bestowed upon the subject before the signs
and modes of proceeding by means of what the abbreviation of which the abbreviation part of
is performed effected and by the employment of which the abbreviative function exercised
the abridgement abbreviation perform correspondent abbreviation
effected must necessarily have been bestowed the principle
of the act might be made known, the whole parts
of it laid open.
