is – that in the minds of other persons in the minds of learners,
ideas similarly if not altogether equally clear,
this same language will will in like manner be accompanied attached to this same language.

But in the minds of persons in general at large and of
young scholars in particular these the phrases in question
have no such accompaniment; with the particulars belonging
to the science they have no such already formed
acquaintance. When therefore without sufficient warning
perhaps without any warning at all of the impropriety
of the application thus made of them the phrases in question
are by the teachers in question – through which soever of the two modes in which way sever teachers
conveying his instruction viz. discourse scriptitiously or
discourse orally delivered – employed in the delivery of
instruction in relation to the art or science, the consequence
is that instead of ascribing to them the meaning the latent
and multifarious meaning which by long practice
and acquaintance with particulars the teacher has
learnt to attach to them the meaning which the learner he attaches to
them is no other than that which has been attached to them
by the usage of ordinary language. When with the of assurance
so naturally attached to the possessor of acknowledged and undisputed
infallibility he is told that every number to which is brought to view with
which the sign called the negative sign is prefixed is
expressive of a quantity which is and exactly by so much
as the figure indicates be into less than nothing, the belief of
the existence of an infinite number of quantities each of
them less than nothing, is thus added to his creed.
