Chrest. Tab. II Conclusion

To the use of the word branch, an objection not
unanalogous to that which as above applies to the
word power, does, it must be confessed, present
itself. In the ascending series of branches, the higher greater
the number employed in the giving expression to the any
term in the series – in a word to any branch, the greater should
be the effect of any portion of matter, taken in that
number repeated the number of times indicated by
that denomination denomination numerical denomination: the effect
producible by the 3d branch of the number should be
greater than the any effect producible by the 2d branch of the
same number. But the greater the number of raises
in the case of the class of material beings from the
sensible properties of which the image is derived deduced – in
the case of a tree, (for example) the higher the branch is
the it is not the stronger the more powerful, but the
weaker the less powerful: and it is by the greater number
that the higher branch will be presented to view: and
in particular, no branch can fail to present itself
as being in a greater or less degree weaker, instead of stronger than
the trunk.

Here then applying to the word branch is an objection
analogous to that which we have seen applying
to the word power: analogous to it, and perhaps
not less than equal to it.

But When the one objection is set against the other
there remains, in favour of the word branch,
the circumstance of its being analogous to the word
root; being the word already in use employed to designate in corresponding proportions, the correspondent
and opposite effect.
