Chrest. Tab. II Inserenda
Technical language is cherished as a mark of proficiency.
A determination (suppose) is taken to substitute on
this ground the language of simple truth to the language of scientific
falsehood and thereby to substitute light to darkness,
for the production of this effect these effects what is the course that
a man will have to take? On the occasion of every
sort of transaction operation event or state of things in the occasion of which this
sort of fictitious language is in use to be employed, he
will have to bring to view the nature of the transaction
operation, event or state of things, and at the same time therewith
to bring to view the effect of which therein which the supposed existence of
some supposed negative quantity is productive. Of this
transaction, operation, event, or state of things having
given a an indicative description employing in so far as applicable susceptible of application
to the subject the terms of ordinary language, he will
thereupon in the like language give an indication
of the effect so produced by the negative quantity, as
above. So far as this mode of explanation shall
have been made to extend so far and no farther will
the science have been brought and put into that state
in which it ought to be put for the instruction of
young beginners: in that state into which it must be put
ere it can have been fitted for rendered susceptible of rendering
more than a very small part of that quantity of service
which in its own nature it is capable of being made to render rendering to
mankind.
