Chrest. Tab. II

The language of Algebra Algebraical language even where no fiction is in the
use made of it no fiction is involved, is a sort of abbreviated
a sort of shorthand language. So far and
so far only as the ficti abbreviation the abbreviated
expressions which it employs are by him who employs
them capable of being upon occasion translated into propositions delivered
at length and in the form of ordinary language
so far and so far only as in the source of
any such fictions as it employs expression by which
nothing but the plain truth is asserted – expressions significations
in a direct way of those ideas for the giving
expression to which the fictitious language has been employed,
are capable of being substituted and accordingly
are substituted in so far and so far only that
are they in the mouth or pen of him by whom they
are employed – of him by whom or of him to whom
they are addressed any thing better than empty seconds.

It is for want of all regular use of recurrence to those lists
of rec intellection it is for want of this undiscontinued recurrence deference
to unabbreviated language and unsophisticated
language that algebra is in so many minds a collection
of signs unaccompanied by things signified without things signified – of words without
import and therefore without use.

Employed on a number of different occasions in so many
different senses the without any clear indication of the difference
or communication attempted to be made of those different occasions
the topics of fictions involved
in the use made of the negative sign operates as a source of wide spreading obscurity in the field of quantity fills the answers wih obscurity the
field of quantity as the fiction of a debt where there is no debt comes
with obscurity the field of commercial management and commercial intercourse. See T.b.c. .
