By one passage or some other small number of passages
all contrivances wh consisting of the abbreviative composed of the peculiar
forms or characters and forms: every contrivance that belongs which operates
as an instrument to the head of abbreviation may be explained: and even
without so much as one any such assemblage of uncouth
forms, every contrivance which demand a in so far as explanation may be made of
which does not operate as an instrument of abbreviation
or wh in so far as it operates otherwise than as an instrument
of abbreviation may be explained.
Great Prodigious would be the relief thus afforded to the initiated juvenile learners mind
his reader by the indulgence thus afforded to it his indolence love of ease
Under the head of Language learning, the dark spot produced
by every hard word by every word which – being
derived imported from a foreign language has no relatives belonging to it
in the that vernacular language has already been brought
to view. To an initiated to an unpracticed eye, a page
of algebra is a surface composed almost wholly of the covered almost compleatly with
like dark spots.
True it is that for the explanation of the several different
contrivances words in no small number that will
new to the hearer will be new – some of them already
in use, others which it might may be found necessary to coin
for the particular purpose here proposed, would be found
requisite: and these new words will be so many hard
words to many dark spots.
But no sooner would one of these new words point itself then a definition an explanation composed
either purely of common words or partly of common words
and partly of other such peculiar words as had already in
this same way rendered their explanation, would be subjoined:
no sooner had the dark spot made its appearance than the requisite
light would will have been thrown upon it, and how much more
thickly darkened a portion of discourse is by unknown characters
than even by hard words expressed in familiar characters, few but must have experienced.
