Chrest. Tab. II Conclusion

What must be confessed, is – that supposing the
superior aptitude of those that of the proposed new terms, when compared
with the old established terms, the superiority of aptitude were ever so unquestionable,
the utility of any such undertaking as that of
substituting, them in any institutional work, or scheme
of oral instruction, the new to the old, would still be very
questionable. It is to in the terms employed in the now in use at present employed in for
the designating of the ideas in question that all the
now existing works on the subject stand expressed: these
works could therefore no further be understood, than in as
far as the terms here in question are understood.

But how conclusive soever this consideration may
be, in the character of an objection to the any such attempt as that of
to substitute these new proposed terms to the old established ones,
it applies not in the any such character of an objection to the addin
in a scheme of instruction to an explanation of the
old an explanation of the new. For If therefore the ideas
presented by the proposed new terms should in any ideas
instance, be found clearer than those proposed by the new the ideas
presented by the old, here will so much new light be
thrown upon the subject without any of the inconveniences
so frequently generally if not constantly universally attached to change.

Nor would the preferable use of the new language proposed terms be
all altogether incompatible with the reaping the instruction
contained in the books in qu which the corresponding old terms are employed.
All along since the days of Newton and Leibnitz
while by which in the English school the terms fluent and fluxion with their appendages
have been employed, by the German and French Schools
the for the presentation conveyance of the same ideas the terms integral
and differential calculus or calculation with their appendages
have been employed.
