27 Apr. 1815
Chrest. Tab. II

When for such purposes such as the above a survey
comes to be taken of the field of mathematics, another object
or subject of enquiry may be whether in mathematics
in general, but more particularly in algebra (fluxions
included) the language is in every instance an expression
as it ought to be. Antecedently to association
with a very few exceptions deducting exceptions
where exceptions be a very narrow extent as deducted,
for any the designation of anything which is to signified
any one size or as proper as another. But
when associations have now been formed, this original
indifference is at an end: for the designation of any object
some word or phrase set of words should be looked out which in
virtue of some meaning which they already possess with which they have already been invested,
had serve in some measure to lead the mind to the
conception of the thing object meant to be designated, and in
that respect his are better adapted to the purpose
than any words taken at random than any words
in short between which and the the object which is
to be designated in such relation have place.

Thence it is that for the for the obj idea be the
object what it may, the choice of the words employed
for the designation of it is never a matter of indifference:
and on nor will the case perhaps nor will those perhaps ever exist, in
which a number of words or phrases may not be
found, all of them possessing in respect of relation to the
obj designation of the object in question, so many different
degrees of aptitude on the scale of aptitude.
