Chrest. Tab. II Inserenda
By a comparatively small number of privileged minds
to the constitution of which the subject happens to be in a peculiar degree
adapted, at the end of a certain number of years thus employed,
an acquaintance with the science – an acquaintance
more or less clear correct and extensive – comes to have
been obtained attained. Attained? but how? by means of
the cypher? by means of the inapposite, the ill-constructed
the fictitious fiction stained language? no: but in spite of it.
Instead of being left to be drawn by abstraction from the
like Truth out of her well from the bottom depths of an ocean
of perturbers, had the key been conveyed in the first
instance, and terms combined of compact texture constructed
out of apposite familiar, and unfictitious language, the only
a small part of the time so unprofitably disadvantageously employed
would have sufficed for the extraction from the subject this obtainment of a set of conceptions much
more clear correct and extensive than those obtained
by a process so full of perplexity and inquietude.
