can be

In the case of Algebra (Fluxions included) elucidation revelation,
if so it may be termed, though the same in respect
of its end the same, will, in respect of the description
of the means which the nature of the subject requisite to be taken for the accomplishment
of that end be considerably somewhat different from what
it is has been seen to be in the case of Geometry.

In the case of Geometry,- the enuntiative part
of the proposition excepted, use even they thoroughness the
whole of the field, - the language in particular being
by the want of general terms, confined in respect of its subject to the individual
figures and parts of figures exhibited by the individual
diagrams, and designated - denominated not by any
indication given of intrinsic & permanent their relations one to another, but
by the arbitrary and unexplanatory denominations given to them by
means of so many combinations of the letters of the
alphabet. In this case one great instrument of
elucidation therefore consists in the substitution of
terms denominations expressive of general ideas, being three so many of sorts
of relation, to denominations three narrow individual and
unexpressive. But in the case of Algebra, the terms
employed, abbreviated and to those to whom the
use of them is not familiar, obscure and perplexing
are as general as words it would be in the power
of words - of words at length and unabbreviated to
make them. For generalizing general <add>generalization</add> or generic made of designation
no therefore in the character of a new and as yet untried into and
instrument of elucidation, no room is left in Algebra
Algebra.
