Chrest. Tab. II Conclusion
Be the old terms ever so inapposite, be the new terms
ever so apposite, no such thought must be entertained as
that of discarding the old and substituting the new. The
old are the terms employed in all the existing books: the
terms in and by which all the great discoveries that have
been are expressed: discoveries in comparison of which
all ulterior ones that the nature of things admitts of will probably be
found inconsiderable. Smoothing the paths that which
in every direction lead through this department compartment in the field
of art and science – some smoothing the path, and
thence encreasing the number of the travellers that enter
upon this field and at the same time the progress made
by each, to this is the species of service to the rendering of which the
work in question must confine itself, nor will it be by any
means be a slight one.
Everywhere therefore the new appellation word of phrase or any
instead of being attempted to be substituted the new word
or phrase or any larger portion of the matter of discourse
must be subjoined to the old, and will have
the effect of a synonym to or an explanation of it.
